Back to School Boost

The Back-to-school boost provides a $100 credit for each primary school student from the start of 2026.  This $100 credit will assist families with school costs during 2026.  A $100 credit will be placed on the account of all students enrolled in Prep to Year 6 from the start of the 2026 school year.

Families choose which cost they will use their $100 for throughout the year.  For example, families may apply their 2026 Back to school boost towards the cost of the Student Resource Scheme (SRS) or, other school related expenses such as excursions, camps, or extra-curricular activities.

Please note that the Back-to-school boost cannot be used for reimbursement of purchases made at external stores, nor can it be provided as a cash payment to families or students.

☀️ No Hat, No Play

We are noticing an increasing number of students arriving at PE lessons without a hat. Our spare hat supply is very limited.

Please ensure your child brings their own clearly named hat to school every day. Hats are an important part of our SunSmart policy and are required for outdoor activities, including PE.

Thank you for helping us keep our students safe in the sun.
