From our Assistant Principal 

State Schools' Relief

State Schools' Relief is an excellent organisation that provides wonderful support to many families in our school.  Their simple and practical service ensures that all students can attend school in warmth and comfort, with a greater sense of belonging and improved self-esteem, which in turn enhances their educational engagement.

Issues such as poverty, neglect, family illness, abuse and homelessness continue to affect many Victorian families.  SSR provides Victorian government school students with new uniforms, footwear and educational resources, including learning devices, to ensure that any students facing hardship have the necessary items they require for school.

SSR Values

Unity

Working together to support every young person.

Equality

Supporting equal life chance and access to opportunity for all young people.

Dignity

Making sure that every young person is able to participate with the same pride and dignity as their peers.

Belonging

Fostering a sense of participation, inclusion and belonging to their school community.

Each year, Prep students whose families are eligible for Camps, Sports & Excursions funding are provided with winter uniform and footwear items and during the recent Remote Learning period SSR provided a number of our school families with learning resources, including desks and chairs, stationery and wifi access devices.

On the last day of this term we will have an Out of Uniform Day and will ask students to bring a gold coin, which will be donated to State Schools Relief.
