School Bags - Light Weight Lunch Boxes and Water Bottles

To assist with the weight of your child's school bag, it is suggested that use of a lightweight lunch box (plastic/insulated wall) and plastic water bottle (instead of metal) is used. If using a metal drink bottle, it can be filled at school.

WhatsApp Guidelines

The Friends of Primary Group, through the Class Coordinators, facilitate a WhatsApp Group per year level for any parent who wishes to join. This informal platform shares social events and practical information. This is a parent-based community platform which is run independently from the College; however, a staff member is included in each class group. Positive and friendly communication is encouraged.

Lost Property

To assist with a prompt return of any lost property, would you please ensure all items are clearly named with your child’s first name & surname.
