2024 school calendar

The school reminds families again of the Department of Education’s advice that family trips are taken during the school holidays to avoid extended absences causing gaps in the learning program. There is no safe number of days to miss school and each day missed puts them behind. Attending school each day promotes better health, better skills around learning, better social skills and better long term prospects. 

Students who take holidays during the school term will be expected to continue their studies remotely through the Compass Lesson plans, and upon their return will be expected to submit or complete outstanding work. This will be communicated with families through email.

Below is a list of student free and early finish dates, originally published in the last newsletter of 2023.  Future newsletter will include key events for the term only.
