Important Information Regarding Bus Use 

Families who make use of the School bus are reminded of the following:

• Students must embark and disembark at their allocated stop and should not get off at a different stop without having made prior arrangements.
• Travel on an alternative bus for social engagements is not permissible.

Book Club for Kinder - Yr 6 Students

We have loved providing you with an opportunity to purchase books through Scholastic Book Club.  Books purchased through Scholastic provides reward points for the Discovery Centre  - which we use to buy even more books for our school!

This week students will receive their Scholastic brochure.  We are also introducing Redgum Book Club as an alternate trial club.  You can order from both brochures online. 

Order deadline for both catalogues will be Monday, August 6.

We would love to hear your feed back on the Redgum brochure as we are trialing this for the first time.
