Glasses for Kids – Important Reminder 👓

Back in August 2025, students who took part in the Glasses for Kids program received their new glasses through the school.

Families are reminded that if these glasses become lost or broken within 12 months, the program provides one replacement pair at no cost.

If you need a replacement or would like support, please contact the school office and we will assist you with the next steps.

Please remember to update the school with any new or changed medical plans for your child, including:

• Asthma Action Plans
• Allergy/Anaphylaxis Plans
• Epilepsy or Seizure Management Plans

• Any other medical care plans

   

If your child takes medication/inhaler at school, please ensure it is:

• Up to date
• Correctly labelled

If there have been any changes to your child’s medication or health needs, please contact the office so we can update our records and support your child safely.

Uniform Price Increase - March 6th, 2026

Dear Families,

We are writing to let you know about an upcoming adjustment to the pricing of our school uniform items.

Our uniform supplier has advised us of a price increase for all items, which will take effect from Friday, 6 March 2026. These changes reflect increased production and supply costs, as outlined in the supplier’s communication.

An updated uniform price list/order form has been attached for your reference.

We understand that uniform costs can place pressure on families. If you have remaining School Saver Bonus funds, you are welcome to utilise these towards your uniform purchases.

If you are currently experiencing financial hardship, please feel free to speak with our office staff. We can support you in accessing a State Schools’ Relief order to assist with essential uniform items.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss any of the upcoming changes, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support.

Parking & Safety Reminder

Our school staff work very hard at providing a safe entry to and from school, and we kindly ask families to help us out by doing the same.

 Parking near the school is very limited, and we understand how frustrating this can be; however, we ask that families continue to follow traffic rules so we can keep all students and families safe.

⚠️ Please note: Police will be conducting extra patrols in the area over the next few weeks.

Thank you for helping us keep our school community safe.
