Road Safety Reminder

It’s great to see so many of our students riding their bikes to and from school. Riding is a fun, healthy and independent way to travel, and our Year 4 Bike Ed program gives students the skills to do this safely.

Please talk to your children and remind them about these key safety messages when they are riding to and from school:

Ride at a safe speed, especially near the school and along local streets.
Always look out for cars, including those reversing from driveways.
Wear a helmet and use crossings and bike paths where possible.
Walk bikes across the school crossings and through the gates.
If you are near pedestrians, use your bell to let others know that you are there. Remember to slow down when you pass.

Parent/Caregiver/Guardian Opinion Survey

Our school is conducting the annual Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey offered by the Department of Education and is seeking your feedback. The survey is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behaviour, and student engagement. The survey is optional, but we encourage and appreciate your participation.

Our school will use the survey results to assist in identifying areas for improvement and professional development needs in the school, to target school planning and improvement strategies.

The Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey will be open online from Monday 18 August to Friday 19 September 2025. The link and pin were shared with you via a Compass email on Monday,

Delegation from Jiangsu, China

We recently hosted a delegation of 25 leaders from teacher education departments at normal universities in Jiangsu. The delegation enjoyed visiting classrooms and engaging in rich conversations about our teaching and learning program. They shared positive feedback about our teachers and the learning opportunities they provide our students.
