Outside School Achievements
We are proud to recognise our students’ outstanding accomplishments outside of school. From excelling in sports, arts, and music to winning competitions and volunteering in the community, these achievements showcase their passion, dedication, and well-rounded talents. Keep shining and inspiring us all!
Please add your child's achievement along with a little blurb about what they achieved in the following link Outside School Achievements.
Early Departure
We request that when parents/carers are collecting students early from school that where possible, break times be avoided. Break times are 11:15am - 11:55am and 1:35pm - 2:25pm. If these times can't be avoided, please arrange with the classroom teacher to have your child's bag brought to the office prior to break time.
Student Messages
If you are needing the office staff to pass a message to your child during the day for after school arrangements, please contact the office via phone, not via email, as early as possible, prior to 1:30pm is ideal.
