From the Principal's Desk
Learning Conferences
Thank you to all families who have booked an interview time to meet with your child's teacher to share progress over the past term. I hope you find the opportunity worthwhile and are able to come to a common understanding of goals moving forward.
Please take the time over the holidays to view your child's Portfolio in detail. We ask that you return it by the start of the new term.
Fees and Levies
Thank you to all families who are up to date with fee and levy payments for 2026. This is a reminder that (unless you are on a payment plan) fees and levies for the 2026 school year need to be finalised by Friday, 18th September.
Medical Profiles
Thank you to all families who have already updated profiles. If you have not yet done so, please log in to the nForma Portal at your earliest convenience and ensure your child’s medical profile is complete, accurate, and up to date.Please complete this by the commencement of Term 4.
Summer Uniform
Next term, the children will transition into their summer uniform by the end of Week Two. If you need uniform items, please place your order online, and we will notify you when your order is ready for collection.
School Disco
I hope you have all marked in your diaries the date of this year's School Disco, which will be held on Friday, October 16th, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. (the second Friday of Term 4). This is the social event of the year for our children and should prove to be a huge hit!
THIS WILL BE A MOBILE PHONE-FREE EVENT.
Mobile phones will not be permitted to be brought into the hall.
Our PFA will be assigned various supervision tasks throughout the evening. We kindly ask parents to drop their children off at 6:30 p.m. and return to collect them at 8:00 p.m. sharp.
Our Disco is open only to children in Years Prep-6. The cost is $10.00 per child ($15 per family), payable at the door on the night. Once inside, children will not be permitted to leave the hall until they are collected by their parents at the conclusion.
Our always-popular Candy Corner will operate, where children can purchase goodies such as drinks, snacks, and glow sticks!
Our School Disco is always a popular event on the calendar, and this year will be no exception!
