Welcome Back to Term 3

Welcome back to Term 3. I hope everyone had the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing break and spend some time with family and friends. It has been great to see our students return settled, engaged, and ready for another term of learning. I look forward to seeing our students continue to challenge themselves, support one another, and make the most of learning opportunities.

Prep Enrolments for 2027

Is your child starting Prep in 2027? We'd love to welcome them to our school community.

Enrolments for our 2027 Prep students are now open, with applications due by Friday, 31st July 2026. If you're still deciding on the right school for your child, there's still time to join one of our school tours. It's a great opportunity to see our learning spaces, meet our staff, and get a feel for what makes our school such a special place.

To book a tour, ask any questions about the enrolment process, or for help with your application, please contact the school office on 03 9723 4182.

We look forward to meeting our future Prep students and their families!

National Emergency Alert System Test

We’ve been advised that a national test of AusAlert will happen across Australia on Monday, 27th July at 2pm.

AusAlert is a new, national emergency warning system. It sends warning messages to compatible mobile devices during emergencies, to keep people informed so they can act quickly. The Australian Government plans to launch AusAlert in October 2026.

On Monday 27th July at 2 pm, all compatible mobile devices will receive a Critical Alert. Compatible mobile devices include phones, tablets, smart watches, safety watches, and some vehicle devices. These will vibrate and make a loud, siren-like warning sound for about 10 seconds. This will happen even if they are on silent or do not disturb. The message will clearly state that it is a test. No action is required from the test.

To minimise disruption, student phones and smart devices should always be switched off and handed into their classroom's locked box to be stored safely for the day. Students who use their mobile phone as part of a documented exception can continue to do so. If appropriate, they can turn their phone off during the test.

You may also wish to let your child know that if they see or hear the alert, school staff will support them. You can learn more at AusAlert: children and teens. Information is also available in other languages.

Safe Phones 

AusAlert may increase risk for people experiencing violence, especially if they live with someone who uses violence. Alerts may expose safety devices.

If you or someone you know has a hidden device, the best way to stay safe during the test is to:

• turn off  your mobile device or put it in aeroplane mode

• keep your device off or in aeroplane mode for  24 hours.

Silent mode and do not disturb will not stop the alert.

For more information, please refer to the Staying safe with AusAlert page.
