DATES FOR DECEMBER - UNIFORM CHANGES 

NEARLY THE END OF PRIMARY SCHOOL FOR OUR YEAR 6 STUDENTS

It is such as busy and exciting final term for our senior students in Year 6 as they complete their primary schooling. In many ways these students have 'outgrown' the Primary routine and are looking forward to the new challenges and routines provided by the High School setting.

However, it is important not to look too far ahead and forget to cherish what is happening in the present. With only 2 weeks left, we encourage our Year 6 students to continue to work hard, respect the teachers and their peers who have travelled the Primary journey with them and to enjoy, for what may be the last time, the friendship and opportunities that have made their Year 6 experience so memorable.

SCHOOL FEES

A gentle reminder that school fees must be paid in full by Friday, 6 December 2024. Balance of School Fees owing can be accessed on Compass.  If you are having trouble accessing Compass and/or the fees tab, please contact our office staff.  Thank you for your support.

SCHOOL DROP OFF AND PICK UP SAFETY 

A friendly reminder to adhere to safety measures when dropping off and picking up your children from school. Please especially make sure that you are mindful of not parking in driveways or allocated bus zones and only using the designated car drop off/pick up area if you are not parking your car.
