2024 Parent Payments Schedule
On behalf of School Council, staff and students, I would like to extend my thanks to the large large majority of families who were able to support the school via the 2023 Parent Payments Program. Your support has enabled us to continually improve our school facilities and programs. In 2023 the Parent Payments directly funded the following:
- Classroom equipment, furniture and learning resources (including those used in specialist programs)
- Upgrades to classroom technology
- Redevelopment of play-spaces (including our new and very popular Mud Kitchen!)
- School Nurse Program
- Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program
- Engagement with the very best teaching and learning consultants to work with our teachers and education support staff.
- Employment of a dedicated grounds maintenance team.
- AND SO MUCH MORE!

Year 6 Exhibition
Roaming Art Show
Big thanks go to Alicia Smith and her willing band of helpers (including former student, Piper Skelton!) for helping to bring together this year's Roaming Art Show. It is simply mind-boggling to think how so many amazing artworks could be completed (by all students from P-6) in just one year! Thank you to the large number of families who showed support through attendance throughout the week.
