Our Breakfast Club is a wonderful way for students to start the day with a full tummy and a positive mindset. We offer a range of tasty breakfast options for children to enjoy before heading off to class.
If you would like your child to make use of our yummy breakfast foods, please send them to school a little earlier so they have plenty of time to relax, eat, and enjoy their breakfast with friends.
Breakfast Club begins at 8:10am each morning. Please remind your child that if they would like breakfast before school, they should head straight to the Canteen when they arrive at school.
We look forward to seeing lots of happy faces at Breakfast Club!
PARENTS & FRIENDS COMMITTEE

The Parents & Friends Committee is a sub-committee of School Council and plays a vital role in the heart of our school community.

Joining the Parents & Friends Committee is a fantastic way to:
- Get involved in school life

Whether you can help a little or a lot, your involvement is always valued and appreciated!
Snakes
Snake weather is happening in Melbourne because the warmer months from September to April are when snakes are most active due to increased temperatures. While the current date is late August, which is early spring, you should be prepared for snake activity to increase as temperatures rise, especially during periods of warm, unsettled spring weather.
When to expect snake activity
Snake Season:
Typically runs from spring (September) through summer and into early autumn (April).
Warm Spells:
Even during the cooler months, snakes can become active during warm spells.
Breeding and Feeding:
Snakes are out and about breeding and searching for food during this period, increasing the chances of encounters.
What to do if you encounter a snake
- Move away: Get away from the snake to a safe distance.
- Call for help: Call emergency services immediately if you or someone is bitten.
- Immobilize: Keep the bitten area as still as possible.
Apply a bandage: If trained, apply a pressure bandage from below the bite and upwards, covering the site.
Tips for staying safe
- Be cautious: Be aware of your surroundings, especially in areas with overgrown vegetation, near water sources, or in newly developed areas where habitats have been disturbed.
- Clear your property: Keep your garden tidy to reduce hiding spots.
- Stay vigilant: Pay attention when walking pets or children outdoors.
