Please note that there will be no school on Monday, 10th March due to the Labour Day public holiday.
In addition, Tuesday, 11th March will be a student free Curriculum Day. On this day, staff will be participating in professional learning focused on the teaching and assessment of the English curriculum. This time will support our teachers in strengthening curriculum planning, ensuring consistency in assessment practices, and enhancing learning outcomes for all students.
Tours for 2026
Do you know anyone looking for a school place in 2026?
We run school tours every Wednesday at 9:30am, giving families the opportunity to see our classrooms, meet our staff, and experience our learning environment in action.
We are also hosting a special Open Day on May 23rd, which is a wonderful opportunity for prospective families to explore the school and ask any questions they may have.
If you know someone who might be interested, please feel free to pass this information on, we would love to welcome them!
Twilight Sports
Congratulations to all our students and families for their participation in last night’s Twilight Sports. Our students took part in the 70-metre sprint and a variety of novelty races on the oval, while families enjoyed relaxing with picnics and making the most of the BBQ in a warm weather.
We would like to extend a very special thank you to Eryn Muir who coordinated the event. We are also incredibly grateful to the staff who assisted as starters, scorers, organisers, novelty event hosts, finish line marshals and event runners, ensuring the evening ran smoothly from beginning to end. In addition, we thank George and his team of volunteers for organising and running the BBQ so efficiently.
We hope all who attended had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
