School Bytes App

Our school now uses the School Bytes app to communicate with families via email and SMS messaging.  This is our primary tool for communicating.  Please download this app from the App Store or Google Play Store on your device and follow the steps for installation.

You can provide excursion permissions and submit absences on the app.

  Uniform Shop Update

  Uniforms are available for purchase from the office as usual, however we need to be able to verify the receipt of any online payments before the uniform items are taken home. We realise making online payments on the spot can be made difficult by the poor mobile internet reception onsite at school, so this may need to be a payment made online at home and then the uniform items collected the next school day or whenever payment has been verified as received. Once parents have transferred the required payment, please send a screen shot of the payment confirmation to our Uniform Convenor, Helen, on 0400 303 984 so that this can be confirmed before taking uniform items from the office.

   

No Hat? Play in the shade

Please ensure that your child has a school hat for use whenever outside every day at school. We have a number of children requesting spare hats each day and sharing personal items can pose a health risk. 

School hats are available for $10 from the school office.

Students who do not have a hat at school are asked to remain in the shaded areas during break times as part of our no hat / play in the shade policy.
