From the Principal's Desk

Dear Parents,

As we head into the last few  weeks of the school year, there is still so much happening. Please read through the newsletter to ensure that you are up to date with events.

Tabloid Sports Reminder

This Friday 29th November we will be having a whole school Tabloid Sports Carnival. There will be multi-age groups who will do a rotation of 10 fun activities run by Playfit Sports. This sports day will have a different focus as we launch and celebrate our new house names.  

This will take place at 10:45 am-1:00 pm, McDonald Reserve, 66 Bell Street, Coburg.

Students will walk with their classes to the reserve and return in time for lunch.  They can wear their sports uniform and their house colours, their teachers will remind them of the house colour if they are not sure.  We encourage students to apply sunscreen at home before coming to school and they must wear their hat.

Our Sports Leaders and our Fire Carrier Leaders and team have worked together to produce a brief slides presentation to let all in our community know about this exciting change. We’ll also share this presentation on Seesaw.

Parents are welcome to attend and watch their child/ren take part in the activities. 

If you have not done so please return the permission form as soon as possible.

2025 School Fees and Levies

We have an updated School Fees and Levy Policy for 2025.  Whilst we aim to limit any increase, our rising costs necessitate  this as we need to be able to meet our financial obligations. Today a letter has been sent out to families on Audiri and it is attached for your information. If any family experiences any difficulties paying their fees, please contact the Office to arrange a time to meet with me.
