Please DO NOT send your child to school if they are unwell.

Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF)

Applications are open for the Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF). The CSEF helps eligible families cover the cost of school trips, camps and sporting activities.

Payment amounts for eligible families this year have increased to $400 for primary and secondary school students. If you are the holder of a Centrelink Health Care Card, are a refugee or have an Immicard, please contact the front office to collect an application form.

Personal Items

The Department of Education does not hold insurance for personal property brought to schools, and it has no capacity to pay for any loss or damage to such property. Parents and guardians of students, who do not have student accident insurance/ambulance cover, are responsible for paying the cost of medical treatment for injured students, including the cost of ambulance attendance/transport and any other transport costs. Student accident insurance/ambulance cover policies are available from some commercial insurers, and can be obtained by parents/guardians for individual students.

Private property brought to school by students, staff or visitors is not insured and the Department does not accept any responsibility for any loss or damage. Students are discouraged from bringing any unnecessary or particularly valuable items to school.    

Annual privacy reminder

Our school collects and uses students' and parents' personal information for standard school functions, or where permitted by law, as stated in the Schools' privacy policy and schools' privacy collection notice.

Our Photographing, Filming and Recording Students policy describes how we collect and use photographs, video and recordings of students. The policy also explains when parental consent is required and how it can be provided and withdrawn. 

Parents are also required to complete the Annual Consent form

We ask parents to also review the guidance we provide on how we use Microsoft 365 safely at the school and what parents can do to further protect their child’s information. If after reviewing the guidance, you have any questions or concerns regarding your child using Microsoft 365, please contact the school.

For more information about privacy, refer to: Schools’ privacy policy: information for parents. This information is also available in eleven community languages:
