Casual Day 

On Friday 3rd July (Week 10) we are holding a casual day. The money raised will go towards supporting Hypersomnolence Australia (dedicated to driving awareness, education and research to improve outcomes for people living with Idiopathic Hypersomnia and Narcolepsy), as chosen by our Student Representative Council.

A donation is requested from each student. Please use Qkr! for donations or cash on the day. The donation option is already open in Qkr! and will remain open until the end of the term.

Normal standards for hair and jewellery apply and footwear needs to be appropriate for normal class activities, including fitness (not slippers, thongs or slip ons).

Thank you for your support,

Student Representative Council

Kiss and Drop 

A reminder to all families to observe the Council parking restrictions on the school side of Campus Drive, particularly during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. This includes the need to remain in your vehicle at all times while in the zone. These regulations exist to keep traffic moving smoothly and to ensure student safety during busy periods. 

To help with the flow of traffic, please move your vehicle forward as space becomes available. Students are to load into cars only in the designated loading area toward the top of the Kiss and Drop zone, where they are supervised by a duty teacher. This helps keep our students safe and traffic moving through the zone.

If your children will sometimes be collected by others, such as grandparents, please pass these guidelines on to them, as they apply to all drivers. Please be aware that Council fines may apply to those who don't observe the parking restrictions.

We appreciate your understanding and support!

A warm welcome to Lucas, Frankie, Ben, Luke, Jevon, Ivan, Yuvraj, Oliver, Miley, Alexia, Rylie, Luella, and to each of your families. We pray for rich blessings as you begin your journey with us - may you quickly feel a strong sense of belonging, find joy in learning, and flourish in who you are.

Fathering Project Event  

On Friday 12th June, we held our first Fathering Project event of the year, a Pizza and Movie Night. It was wonderful to see so many dads and children come together for an evening of fun, food, and connection.

Families enjoyed sharing pizza before settling in to watch David. The Student Representative Council also did a fantastic job selling drinks, popcorn, and lollies throughout the evening, helping to contribute towards the cost of running the event.

Events like these are an important part of building strong relationships within our school community. They provide valuable opportunities for parents and children to spend quality time together while connecting with other families in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a success. We look forward to seeing you at our next Fathering Project event.
