Class Placement Requests by Wednesday 6th November
We beginning the very important process to create the 2025 grades.
If you have an important parent request around a friendship or a separation for your child, please forward this in writing to the Assistant Principal Kate McLeod at kate.mcleod@education.vic.gov.au by Wednesday 6th November, 2024. We cannot take requests after this date.
We can only consider one request and cannot consider requests for a particular teacher or class.
As building classes is a very complex process, with many factors taken into account (including other parent requests), we cannot guarantee that all parent requests can be accommodated.

On Friday 25th October, our Level 2 students set up their sleeping bags at school for the annual Level 2 Sleepover.

Everyone headed home early Saturday morning, a little weary, but with an understanding of sleeping away from home in preparation for their Level 3 camp next year.
Thank you to Mr Le and the Level 2 team for your organisation of this evening and our wonderful parent helpers on the evening.
