Bike Shed

We kindly ask all students and families to please ensure that the bike shed gate is closed securely after use. Unfortunately, the gate has been left open frequently, which compromises the security of everyone's bikes and scooters. Parents, if your child travels to school by bike or scooter, please remind them to close the gate behind them. Let's not assume the next person will do it - taking a moment to secure the gate helps protect everyone's property.

School Saving Bonus (SSB)

A reminder that you have until 30th June 2025 to spend SSB funds at our uniform supplier, Bob Stewart. Any unspent funds on your SSB voucher codes will automatically be converted to School Activities credits for future use on excursions, camps or other eligible activites at school.

Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund 

The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) helps eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities.

  • If you have a valid means-tested concession card, or are a temporary foster parent, you may be eligible. A special consideration category also exists for asylum seeker and refugee families. Means-tested concession cards must be valid on the first day of Term 1, 2025 (Tuesday 28 January 2025) or Term 2, 2025 (Tuesday 22 April 2025). 
  • A student aged 16 years and over who is considered a mature minor and holds a valid concession card is also eligible to apply.
  • Eligible families will receive a payment of $154 per year for primary school students. The funds will be paid directly to the school to be used towards camps, sports and excursion costs for the benefit of your child. 

If you applied for CSEF through our school last year, you do not need to complete an application form this year, unless there has been a change in your family circumstances. 

 

If you would like to apply for the first time, please contact the school office and ask for an application form. Please return completed application forms to the school office as soon as possible.
