Glasses For Kids

Glasses for Kids information brochures will be sent home with the children from grades Prep to 3 this coming week. This is a fantastic opportunity for children to be assessed by an optometrist. Also if your child requires glasses, GFK will provide them at no cost to families. Please read the GFK information brochure, fill out the Consent Form and Optometrist Questionnaire. If these could be returned as soon as possible, booking for Term 3 may commence.

Wellbeing Survey - School TV

Help us meet the needs of our families and students by responding to the School TV Wellbeing Barometer Survey! Your responses are de-identified, so we can't see who any responses to belong to, and we can only get school based information if more than 10 people respond. We would love to find out about the concerns of our specific community so that we can target our support appropriately.
