Parliament and Civics Education

Year 6 students from our school have recently undertaken, an education tour of the national capital. Students were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage, and democracy. The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributed funding to our school in the amount of $30 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate will be paid directly to the school now that we have completed the excursion.

Late Arrivals at School and Unexplained Absences

A gentle reminder to families that arrive late at school. Parents are expected to accompany the late arrivals to the office to sign students in and give an explanation as to why they are late. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. 

Also, any absence from school, as a matter of law, needs to be explained within seven days of the absence occurring. We still have a number of outstanding, unexplained absences. If you are aware that your child(ren) have been absent from school, and you are yet to explain this absence, please do so at your earliest convenience.
