We've noticed an increasing number of parents pulling up to the curb to drop off their children without properly parking. This is a significant safety concern for both your child and other families. Please take the extra moment to park correctly in a designated space before your children exit the car. This ensures they can get out of a stationary vehicle safely and helps keep traffic flowing smoothly for everyone.
Fathers Day
This year our Fathers Day stall will be held on Thursday the 5th of September at 2pm. Gifts may be purchased through Compass Canteen under the 2025 Fathers Day Stall menu for $12. If students would like to purchase more than 1 gift we do usually have extras but if we don't then a refund will be issued.
Book Week Parade
Nationally, Children's Book Week in 2025 will be held from August 16th to August 23rd. The theme for the week is "Book an Adventure"
On Friday the 22nd of August, students will come to school dressed in their costumes ready to parade at 9am at the front of the school. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Breakfast Club
We love having helpers for Breakfast Club. If you can please sign in and be here at 8:30am to set up and help with the full time frame through until 9am, that would be wonderful.
Compass Reminder
If you choose the 'open in browser' option when you access Compass - especially from your phone, things seem to work better generally.
