Secondhand Uniform Shop

Our P& F are looking to establish a secondhand uniform shop at the school as a fundraiser. If you have any uniform items that you would like to donate please drop them into the front office. Thank you.

School Crossing Petition

Please take the time to fill out the School Crossing Supervisor petition that Annabelle Cleeland MP has started for us and all the primary schools in the Strathbogie Shire. Anderson St is a very busy street and it is vitally important for our students that we have a School Crossing Supervisor to help them cross the road safely. We are fortunate to have the wonderful Mark Stevens as our School Crossing Supervisor but he has not been given assurance that his job will continue, so we need to pressure the State Government to committing to funding our School Crossing for the long term. Please use the link below and share it!
