We’d like to extend a huge thank you to all the parents who attended our Cyber Safety and AI Information Night last Thursday. The event was a huge success, with engaging discussions and valuable interactions throughout the evening. It was wonderful to see such a strong commitment from our parent community, and we hope that everyone left with new insights and a clear direction for navigating these important topics at home.

School Drop off and Pick up
School Drop off / Pick up & Road Crossing
We want to thank you for the families who left flowers and messages after Noel’s passing. Noel was a long-standing member of the Galilee community, always positive and loved helping students get to school safely.
If you use the crossing, please say hello to Brendan who has taken over from Noel. Brendan is diligent and tries to keep traffic flowing.
Our urban context can be useful to help students learn about safe crossing, as well as providing challenges and dangers. If you’re parking opposite the school, please use the correct crossing with a supervisor, to help all children learn safe crossing processes. There are a lot of opportunities for parking around the school on Bank St and Montague St where children don’t have to cross any roads, or only have to cross with crossing supervisors.
If you do want to come into school we encourage you to leave the 5 minute zones free and park a little further away, so that those spaces are free for drop-and-go.
