Dear Parents/Guardians,

Good luck to our Grade 3/4 Staff and Students who head off to Malmsbury on Monday for their 3 day adventure camp.

Prep enrolments for 2027 - Due 

A final reminder for any siblings or prospective 2027 prep enrolments, you are encouraged to submit your enrolment application to our school ASAP.  In doing so, this ensures that the school can effectively plan for 2027 class sizes and provides us the opportunity to begin planning our transition sessions.

Bullying No Way Week  17-21st August 2026.

The theme for 2025 is 'Small Acts, Big Impact.'

Our goal is to build environments where everyone belongs, diversity is celebrated and bullying is never accepted. During Bullying No Way Week, we encourage students, families and communities to engage in small acts that can have a big impact against bullying.

We currently have competitions running for each year level and invite students to come dressed with a touch of purple on  Friday 21st August.

Character Dress up Parade - advanced notice

During Book week on Friday 28th August we will hold our annual Book Character dress up parade at 9:30am. Students are encouraged to come to school dressed as their favourite book character.  Family and friends are welcome to join us for the parade. The theme for this year is a 'Symphony of Stories'.

XUNO - Not receiving XUNO messages?  

If you are not receiving email notifications and messages or have trouble logging in to XUNO, there is a very big chance there is an issue with the email we have recorded on the school system or your password needs resetting. Please contact the office to have this checked and fixed.

Spring / Allergies

As we enter August, and we begin to see some spring weather, for those of you with children who deal with  allergies, now is an excellent time to check the dates on any antihistamines and asthma puffers you may have.  While not perfect (highly dependent on what your child has an allergy to), this website can be useful to check daily to help manage seasonal allergies https://www.melbournepollen.com.au/.
