From the Principal
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Term Three is in full swing, and we're embracing the winter season in Melbourne. We all share the responsibility of keeping our school community healthy. Please continue to monitor your children's health, and if they're unwell, keep them at home for their recovery and the safety of others. Remember, if your child is absent, please notify the school office with a reason for their absence.
Please check in our Newsletter Sections\Pages to see what is happening in our amazing school!
