School Fees

As we approach the start of Term 4, we wish to remind you that all school fees must be paid in full by 31 October 2025 unless previous arrangements have been made with the school. We understand that circumstances may arise that make it difficult to meet this deadline, so please don't hesitate to reach out to Ms Christine Sheen, our Finance Officer, if you have any concerns or questions.

 

If you are experiencing financial difficulties and need to make alternative arrangements for payment, please contact Mr Giancono via Administration to schedule a meeting to discuss your circumstances.

Caring for our Library Books

We love seeing our students enjoy reading and borrowing books from our school library! To help keep our collection in great condition for everyone to enjoy, we kindly ask for your support in looking after our library books.

 

Recently, we’ve had a few books returned to the library wet or damaged. This can make them unusable for other students and sometimes means we have to replace them.

 

Please remember to:

  • Always use your waterproof library bag to protect books from spills, rain, and leaks.

  • Keep books away from food, drinks, and water bottles.

  • Store books in a safe, dry place at home.

  • Return books on time and in good condition.

     

Taking care of our library books helps everyone enjoy reading and ensures our library stays full of wonderful stories and information for all.

 

Thank you for your support and happy reading!
