From the Principal's Desk
How Exciting!
There was plenty of action on the building site today as the footings were finally poured! Our hardworking build team went into overdrive, digging trenches (some even by hand) and getting all the services in place just in time for the arrival of the concrete truck, crane, and pour.
It was quite the spectacle and provided our children with some unexpected – and very exciting – free entertainment during playtime!
Now that we’re officially out of the ground, we should start seeing some real construction take shape in the weeks ahead. Exciting times!
Transfer of OSHC (Out of School Hours Care) Services
After 10 years of partnership with OSHClub, I wish to inform you that the OSHClub service will be transitioning to Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools Early Years Education (MACSEYE) as the new provider of Before and After School Care, effective from the beginning of Term 4, 2025.
MACSEYE is a new entity set up by Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) to own and operate a growing network of early learning and Outside School Hours Care services across the Archdiocese of Melbourne.
MACSEYE is committed to seeing every child and family flourish. Their programs are designed to foster a sense of identity, health and well-being.
As a Catholic provider, MACSEYE will have strong links with our school and local parish, working together to build a vibrant community of support for children and families.
MACSEYE is an approved registered provider, and sets a high standard of quality in line with the National Quality Standards.
We take this opportunity to thank OSHClub for the services and care they have provided to our school, our students and families.
A huge thank you to Ashleigh and the team who our children and families have truly appreciated. They have been a pleasure to work alongside and have become ‘part of us’. We will miss them dearly and wish them well in their future endeavours.
If you have any questions, please let me know or you can also email MACSEYE directly at contact@macseye.vic.edu.au or call 1300 501 029.
The attached flyer gives you an overview of MACSEYE. Additional information on fees and how to enrol will be coming soon.
2026 Prep Interviews
Interviews for next year's Preps commenced on Tuesday and will run over the next few weeks.
If you have a child starting in 2026 you should have already booked your appointment. Times can be accessed or amended via https://www.schoolinterviews.com.au/code/3vnpu or by scanning the QR code.
This is always an exciting time as we meet and get to learn a little bit more about our new families and children.

In fairness to all families, financial responsibilities must be kept up to date. If you are falling behind or experiencing difficulties, please contact the school office to discuss your options.
