Parent Info Sessions
Parents of our Kinder transition students are invited for information sessions with Mrs Yates straight after drop off each morning for days 2, 4 and 5. (Please note there will be no parents session in week 3 as Cherie is attending a meeting with the Catholic Schools Office).
These sessions will cover topics about the education of your child and general information about our school. This is a wonderful opportunity to ask any questions you may have, and for you to meet other parents from your child's class. These sessions are not compulsory as we understand many need to get to work. Hand outs covering the topics spoken about will be emailed to you.
What food should I pack for my child when they come to Transition Days?
9.00am Fruit Break- please ensure fruit or veggies are peeled and/or diced ready to eat.
11.00am Recess- please pack morning tea.
1.20pm Lunch- please pack lunch on the full days of attendance.
~ Always pack a water bottle
~ Always label tupperware and items of clothing/hats
~ Our senior buddies will help open any tricky food packaging for our transition students
What clothes should my child wear when they come to Transition Days?
Children can wear the shirt from their transition packs, or a comfy fitting shirt that covers their shoulders. Please wear shorts that are comfortable to sit cross legged, and to play on the school play equipment. Shoes need to be covered eg no Sandals if possible. And finally, a sun safe hat (no caps).
School Bus Travel
Applications are now open for 2026 School Student Transport Scheme (SSTS) travel.

Melbourne Cup Calcutta
Last week your child will have bought home a Melbourne Cup Calcutta ticket order form. Please return this as soon as possible to the front office with correct cash payment so that we can issue you with your tickets. Free free to sell tickets to all your friends and family as this is a significant fundraiser for our school.
TenterLife Visit
Earlier this week Lexi and Sharon shared with our school the work that they have prepared for their organisation and they are sharing this with our families.
This is a suicide prevention network.
In our front foyer there are a number of cards available with important contact details should you know someone that you could share this information with.
They have left multiple copies of the book "Doing What matters in Times of Stress." Again these books are in our foyer and are free.
Our students will receive magnets with Kid's Helpline information.
None of these resources are at a cost. Please feel free to take anything you may need to use for yourself or to share with anyone in your circle who you think might like to see this material.
Big thank you to the ladies for thinking of our school community and sharing these resources with us.
