Principal's Message
Year of Jubilee
Bonjour à tous.
I thank you for your patience during our Parent Access Module ( PAM) and Simon Everywhere platform outage. The SIMON team are working tirelessly to get our parent portals back up and running. We have been informed that both Simon Everywhere and PAM will be off line until at least Monday 10th November. In the meantime, parents can continue with our current procedures of emailing, or calling in absences by 9.30am (select option 2, and remember to leave a reason for absences).
Our 2026 Foundation class had their 2nd transtition day on Tuesday. Children are starting to feel comfortable in the school environment which has been wonderful to see. Our last transition day will be on Tuesday 11th November. Our P & F committee would like to invite parents to stay after transistion drop off at 9am to have a cuppa in the staff room. This would be a great opportunity to meet other families and have a chat.
Thanks all our teaching staff who inspire, support, and empower our children and young people every single day. The dedication and care that you give to each and every one of our students is truly appreciated.
Good luck to Aiden C, Leo, Hunter and Harlow H who will be competing at a State level at Albert Park on the 6th November. What a great achievement for you all. Enjoy the experience.
Our 2026 Fee intention forms went out some time ago. It would be appreciated if forms could be returned before November 14th.
