Principals Message
Wellbeing Club Breakfast
Thank you so much to the students and parents who organised the Wellbeing Club Welcome Breakfast for our new students and families. It was wonderful to spend some time with you on the playground and enjoy one of our expertly cooked bacon and egg rolls! We are very proud of our school and know you will enjoy your time with us.
Stage 3 Camps
In the near future our Year 5 and 6 students will be organising some fund raisers to raise money for their camps. The money raised will reduce the cost to parents directly. Please support wherever you can with time and donations
Yarn Up
We have a Yarn Up at 5:30pm this afternoon at the Yarning Circle. We have parents, students, staff and community members meet and discuss Aboriginal Education. All are welcome!
Morning Arrival Time
Some students who have begun to arrive very early in the morning. Student supervision begins at 8:20am. This means that if your child is arriving before this time they are unsupervised.
