Please refer to the 'Office News' page for information regarding a change in the order process for families in 2026.
Last term is flying and ,as usual, is super busy- excursions, incursions, Graduation, transition days for our new preps and transition days for our existing students. Please keep an eye on the COMPASS posts for updates so you don’t miss any events.
The last day for our students will be Wednesday 17th December. The students finish at 3.30pm. On Thursday 18th and Friday 19th December our staff will be involved in Professional Development activities including- First Aid, Numeracy, Literacy, Unit meetings and planning for 2026.
Just a reminder that our canteen is now only open on Monday and Fridays till the end of 2025.
Debbie, our canteen manager, for many years has decided that 2025 will be her last year. She has several things she would like to do including some travel to interesting places. We would like to sincerely thank Debbie for all work in managing our canteen over many years and wish her all the very best as she embarks on new adventures.
As yet, we have not engaged any other services but will investigate our options in the next few weeks.
What a great afternoon was had by all. From all reports everyone really enjoyed the fun experience. Many thanks to Jac Knowles for organising this event again. Thank you to all the parents, carers and grandparents who attended on the day- I bet you were able to get some great photos!
If your family is moving out of our area or your child will be attending another school in 2026, could you please contact the office and let us know as soon as possible. We have a waiting list of families wanted to enrol in our school.
This year Kardinia Church is holding a FREE Community Family Christmas Carnival. It will take place on Sunday December 7th, from 10am to 4pm.
