Principal's Report
Dear Parents and Carers,
Congratulations to our Inter School Swim team who competed in the District Swim Carnival on Monday. I am very pleased to announce that we finished 2nd overall on the day. What a tremendous result for our team and congratulations to Mr Edwards and the staff who assisted on the day - Miss Millie Harris, Mrs Liz lamb, Mrs Megan Buck and Mrs Christabel Vaz.
We have a number of students going through to the next round of competition. Special Mention to Ruby H (Year 4DM) who broke 2 district records on the day!
School Closure Days
Next Thursday 5th March and Friday 6th March are school closure days for the staff to attend our annual conference. Monday 9th March is the Labour Day Public Holiday.
There will not be a newsletter next week due to the school closure days. Out of Hours Care full day service will be running on Thursday 5th and Friday 6th March. Please book through the usual methods.
Sibling - Prep 2027 Enrolments and Open Days
We are pleased to announce that sibling enrolments for Prep 2027 are now open. Application forms are available on our school website or can be collected directly from the school office.
To assist prospective families, we are hosting a series of Open Days on the following dates:
- Tuesday, 3rd March
- Tuesday, 10th March
- Wednesday, 1st April
- 9.00am to 11.00am
Private tours can also be arranged by appointment through the office.
Enrolment Priority & Process As per our established enrolment policy, priority is given to current families. Following this, places are allocated to baptised Catholic children residing within our designated boundaries, followed by baptised Catholics outside our boundaries, subject to availability.
For the 2027 academic year, we anticipate forming three Prep classes with approximately 22–23 students per class.
Next Steps: Sibling enrolment interviews will be conducted throughout Term 1. This timeline ensures we can accurately determine the number of remaining places available for new families in the coming months.
Our school is currently operating at maximum capacity, maintaining 21 classes across seven year levels from Prep to Year 6. With three classes per year level and an average of 22 students per class, our total enrolment for the start of the 2026 academic year is 462 students.
Looking ahead to next year, we anticipate maintaining this structure of 21 classes (Prep to Year 6). The average class size is projected to be between 23 and 24 students. To ensure the highest quality of education and personalized attention, we remain committed to limiting class sizes to a maximum of 24 students for the foreseeable future.
