Excursion Deadlines - Payment & Consent

While at times we have been flexible in the past with deadlines for excursion consent and payment, moving forward, we wish to inform you that this will no longer be possible.

The Department of Education requires schools to plan for and safely undertake activities as outlined in the Excursion policy.

As part of our ongoing commitment to student safety and to ensure the successful and safe operation of our activities, all consent forms and payments are to be received by the specified deadline. 

Unfortunately, students who miss the due date will be unable to participate.

We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and if you require financial assistance or support, please contact the school office, before the specified deadline, to discuss available options.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to the school office.

Happy International Women’s Day - Friday March 8

International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated annually on March 8 to commemorate the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of women.

International Women's Day provides an important opportunity for teachers, parents and caregivers to educate and inspire children and students about gender equality. From celebrating women's achievements to challenging gender stereotypes and bias, educating future generations about gender equality is one of the most grassroots differences anyone can make. 

To all of the wonderful women in our school community… thank you for your contributions and for helping to make a difference in our community and in the lives of those around you. Have a great day!
