Principal's Report

Year 5 Log Cabin Camp

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the Log Cabin Camp and visit Sovereign Hill with our Year 5 students. A huge thank you to our wonderful staff who supported the students and helped create such a memorable experience for everyone involved.

Our students also had a fantastic time, developing important skills such as resilience, independence and courage, particularly through many of the adventure activities. It was wonderful to see students challenge themselves, support one another and make the most of every opportunity.

Prep Enrolment for 2027

Prep enrolment for 2027 is now open. Information, including how to access the digital VicStudents portal to submit your application can be found via the school website:

Thank you to the parents who have already indicated via Compass that a sibling will be attending next year. If you haven’t done so yet, please remember that you still need to submit an application through the portal above. As per the Department of Education’s enrolment and placement policy, siblings of current students are guaranteed a Prep place but an application form is still required to secure the enrolment.

School Hours and Supervision Reminder

Parents are reminded that staff are not on yard duty before 8:40am. Therefore, there is no supervision for students before this time. Students arriving prior to 8:40am must be accompanied by a parent/carer or be booked into the OSHC program.

Please also note that the playgrounds and oval are off-limits before school. After school, students using the playground or oval must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.

School begins at 8:50am. Students are expected to be in their classrooms by this time so they are organised and ready for learning sessions, which commence promptly at 9:00am.

At the end of the school day, students must be collected by 3:45pm or be booked into OSHC. If you are running late, please contact the office before 3:15pm. Students remaining in the yard after 3:45pm will be taken to the office, and parents/carers will be contacted to collect them before the office closes at 4:00pm.
