School Fees 2020

It is the school’s usual practice to increase school fees each year in line with recommended CPI. However, for the 2020 school year school fees will remain at the 2019 rate because of the impact that drought and fire is having on our families, farms and businesses. I thank Monsignor Ted Wilkes for his advice and support in regards to the decision to hold school fees at their current level for next year.

Thank You - Liz & Chloe

I would like to thank Liz Turner & Chloe Hoy, our canteen coordinators for all of the hours you have put into the Canteen this year. It is a wonderful service and financial support to the school.

To all the wonderful volunteer parents that have given up their time throughout the year, I thank you for providing the children with this wonderful service.
