Please note, Family/Sibling Photos will be taken during First Break (10.45am - 11.20am) on Thursday February 27. If you would like your students to have a family photo, forms can be collected from the front reception. We kindly ask that siblings present for their photo together at the required time.
School Photo forms were sent home this week with students. Please complete your order and ensure students bring their completed envelope with them on their allocated photo day. Please visit the office to collect a FAMILY ENVELOPE if you would like a sibling photo.
Breakfast Club
Breakfast Club is returning this Term for one day per week starting on Monday 17 February. Breakfast Club recognises many children and young people face challenges that prevent them from starting their day with breakfast and it is designed to ensure every student has the opportunity to enjoy breakfast in the morning. Research shows missing breakfast can lead to fatigue and difficulty concentrating, which often impacts learning and behaviour. Breakfast Club will be available to all students on Mondays from 8:30am – 8:50am. Students can access a toasty from the Community Lounge 2 windows (same area as canteen orders).
