From the Office
2025 Enrolled Preps
Exiting Students
If you know that your child will be leaving the school at the end of 2024 to attend a new school, please let us know as soon as possible by emailing the office. This does not apply to those of you with year 6 students.
Lost Property
A reminder to clearly name all clothing items, lunch boxes & drink bottles so that if they are lost, they can be easily identified and returned to the correct owner. Lost property is located outside the sickbay.
Student Absences
Students are expected to attend school regularly and be punctual. Teachers will mark the attendance roll in Compass at 9.00am and immediately after lunch. Parents of absent students are required to provide an explanation of their child/rens absence in the Compass absence portal at their earliest convenience.
Please add an attendance note for an upcoming absence eg appointments/holidays or update a note for an unexplained absence.
If you are experiencing any issues with updating absences please call the school office for assistance.
Early Pick Up
If your child is collected early at any point during the year and need someone other than yourself to do this, we do require written consent from you either in an email to the school or a note to the office giving authority for the person specified to collect your child. Details of emergency contacts you have previously provided are only contacts if we cannot contact you in the event your child is unwell.
