HOST FAMILIES NEED
Dear Families
Our school is fortunate to have an International Student Program which we are growing to ensure that a variety of cultures are represented and it also gives our local students the opportunity to make friends with students from overseas.
In Term 3 we have some more students arriving and it would be appreciated if any family would be interested in having a student live with them. They will require a separate bedroom and a payment is made to the family to support this accommodation.
If interested please contact Mrs Sharon Koning on 0419 258 945 to discuss how the program works and if it would be suitable for your family.
Mrs Sharon Koning
International Student Coordinator

Traffic is extremely congested on the streets before and after school. It is not safe for students to cross the roads anywhere but the zebra crossings at any time, but especially before and after school. Parents/carers are asked to discuss with their children, the importance of this matter.
