School Closure Day

A reminder Friday June 9 will be a pupil free day.

On this day staff will be reviewing the previous four years and preparing for the upcoming External School Review in the first week of Term Four. Maree Holmes from Catholic Education Melbourne will be facilitating the session.

GOSH will be open on this day from 7am-6pm but please book your child's place with Nana or on the Camp Australia website so carer/child ratios are correct.
