Notices/Reminders

School Hats & Uniform

School hats are required to be worn by students when outside towards the end of Term 3 and in Term 4.  If your child does not have a school hat, they can be ordered from our uniform supplier eduThreads.  Baseball caps are not permitted to be worn at school, a school broad brimmed hat is required.

We have a large amount of second hand uniform stock, particularly size 4, 6 and 8 bomber jackets, windcheaters and polar fleece jumpers/vests along with a few winter tunics and some brand new with tags stock as well.  All second hand uniform is available for a gold coin donation.  Please contact the office to see what we have in stock.

Late Arrivals

Students arriving late to school must enter the school via the office and collect a late pass. When collecting a late pass, students must make themselves known to office staff so that they can be signed in.  If office staff have not sighted a student arriving late, their attendance will not be updated to reflect the late arrival, resulting in parents/carers receiving a message that their child is absent.

Early Arrivals

A reminder that staff are on yard duty from 8:45am and classrooms open at 8:45am.  Students arriving earlier than 8:45am must be supervised by a parent/carer.
