Community News
The services and events contained in Community News are in no way connected with the school and are included for your information only. We strongly recommend that parents and caregivers make their own enquiries and assessments about the suitability of these events and services for their children.
Many children will have a positive experience starting school or moving from primary to high school and despite some initial nervousness, most will settle in very quickly. However, we know some parents/carers may be very concerned about the upcoming changes e.g. buying uniforms, books or devices and that's where we can help.
