Parent Payment Arrangements

To provide the best possible education and support for our students, we graciously ask families for a financial contribution each year. These contributions enable programs such as:

  • Advanced learning programs like Robotics, Mandarin, STEAM, and Multimedia.
  • Intervention and support programs, including Targeted Student Learning (TSL), English as an Additional Language (EAL), and Allied Health Services (Speech Pathologist, Counsellor, and Educational Psychologist).

This year, your generous support has allowed us to undertake significant projects, including installing solar panels, refurbishing classroom, and bathroom facilities, upgrading the basketball court, and expanding our ICT resources.

 

For 2025, planned projects include refreshing line markings, upgrading fences, developing a new Year 6 area, and enhancing garden beds and technological resources. Your contributions truly make a difference!

 

Stationery Packs

To prepare for the 2025 school year, stationery packs containing all necessary supplies and a library bag for specialist classes are now available for collection from the school office, following the completion of contributions.

 

School Office Closure

The school office will close on Friday, 20th December 2024, at 4:00 pm, and will re-open on Tuesday, 21st January 2025, at 8:30 am.

 

As we reflect on the year, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all families for their ongoing support. Your contributions enable us to provide exceptional programs and facilities that benefit every student.
