Facilities update

The McKean Street sidewalk upgrade being delivered by the East Gippsland Shire is almost finished and is looking great. We thank you for your patience and care during this time and we look forward to the completion. 

We welcomed news from the Department of Education of the approval for the roof replacement on our Technology Block on Wallace Street. This work will commence onsite Monday 6th May. We will minimise disruptions to staff, students and classrooms, however, classrooms will be closed, and classes relocated on a rolling schedule as per the schedule of work locations for each day. There will also be a section of the grounds fenced off and alleyways created for student access to rooms. We ask you to please be patient and obey directional signs and assistance from staff. We anticipate the roof replacement to be completed within 4 weeks.

Please note that students can only be collected by parents/carers/family listed as Family or Emergency Contacts.  Authorisation from the primary parents/carers must be provided for another person to collect your student from school.

If you have an urgent message for your student regarding issues such as alternative school pick up arrangements, the Administration Team are more than happy to pass the message to your student.
