Mother's Day Stall

Our 2024 Mother's Day Stall will be held this Thursday the 9th of May at 2pm near the Canteen.  This will be after all school photos have been completed.  The event has been opened on Compass for your payment if your child would like to purchase a gift.  If you do not want them to purchase, please select the decline option so we know that you do not want to participate as then we can sell gifts to students who would like more than 1. 

SCHOOL PHOTOS - MAY 9th - Full winter uniform. 

Order through Compass so you don't miss out on the beautiful school photos taken by Damien at MSP.  

Return and earn is back on Wednesdays 

Compass Events

If your child can not attend an event, please select the decline option just so that we know the permission has not been missed. 

Meetings

If you need to speak with a staff member other than Kate or Tracey, please email and make an appointment time as our staff are often on duty and are not available for on the spot chats esp at the front gate - they also need to have breaks for lunch etc. Email addresses can be found in the 'Contact details' page of this newsletter to make it easy for you. 

School Attendance 

If your child is going to be away for an extended period (more than 3 days), please contact the front office so we can organise appropriate paperwork if required.  

It is a legal requirement to explain your child's absence within 7 days.  It is so much easier if you access Compass on the day and fill in the absent note section.

Afternoon Travel Arrangements  

Please notify the school by email before 2pm of your child's travel changes. In an emergency you can call the office after this time.

Activities levy

The activities levy of $70/student needs be paid in full by Monday, 24th June 2024.

This levy will cover buses for swimming, athletics and cross country, pool entry, visiting performers/shows and a portion of the transport for a specialist music teacher. This does not include major excursions, Mothers/Fathers Day gifts, Year 6 Big Day Out, or Diocesan sport as these are user pay activities.   All families are expected to pay this levy.
