2025 Student Attitudes to School Survey (AtoSS)
We have again received some excellent preliminary results from the recent AtoSS for Grade 4-6 children. Our staff will analyse them in detail over the coming weeks.
I have put together a summary below. The numbers below refer to the % of students who had a positive response to the questions asked within each of these topics. The results in yellow are our results from this year, while the results in blue are those of 'similar schools' as this is the most accurate way to assess our performance i.e. they are considered to have students of a similar level of advantage/disadvantage overall. Please note that 'similar schools' results are not yet available for 2025, although these will only be marginally different from 2024, if at all. The 2023 and 2024 results are there to provide additional context in relation to our performance over time.
Our results continue to be outstanding and are some of the best AtoSS outcomes in Victoria. These results are only possible due to our committed staff, our awesome students and supportive families/school community.
End of Term 2 – Early School Finish
Term 2 will conclude at 2:15pm on Friday, 4th July. Please make appropriate arrangements for the safe collection of your child/ren due to the earlier dismissal time. There will be no assembly on this day.
The final assembly of Term 2 will be held tomorrow at 3.00pm.
Bus Travelers – End of Term Pick Up
The school bus will be collecting our students an hour earlier than normal on the last day of term. This means that the bus is scheduled to arrive at our school at approximately 2:40pm on Friday, 4th July.
Happy Holidays!
As Term 2 draws to a close, I would like to wish all of our families a very safe and happy holiday. This term has certainly been packed with lots of fun and learning, and Term 3 promises more of the same!
I would like to thank you all on behalf of our staff for your continued support of the school.

Parent Matters Survey
The Parent Matters project is all about understanding what support parents and carers need to talk to their children about careers and pathways. If you are the parent or carer of a child in years 5-8, we want your thoughts!
How much do you know about careers and pathways and post-compulsory education? Would you like to be better equipped to talk to your child about careers and pathways? More importantly, what support do you need?
Your feedback will help us improve support for parents and carers.
