Parent Parking

Please be very mindful that you are not parking in any of the driveways near our school, even if it is only for a very short time.

Swimming Notes

Please return all swimming permission notes to school by this Friday the 19th of November. As you will know, Compass notes are individually coded so we need each student to return their own specific note.

School Fees are due on 02 December, 2021.

Monthly statements were emailed on 04 November, 2021. Please don't use acc in the reference when paying school fees by EFT as this cuts off most of the account code, so instead of coming through as Cummins Acc 900 it shows as Cummins Acc 9 (surname & account no. only). Please contact Pauline to make an arrangement if you cannot have your fees paid by the due date. We are here to help.

Compass is your one stop shop so please use it for the following applications;

Explain absences within 7 days - this is a legal requirement
Update all contact details: address, phone numbers, email addresses
Find your newsletter and newsfeed items

Even though we can not have visitors past the gate, we are here to help.

If you need uniform items, please pay for them via Qkr (quicker) and send us an email detailing the item/s and sizes you have ordered. We will send the items home with your child.
If you need to collect your child early, please phone us when you reach the gate and we will collect your child from class and sign them out on Compass for you. Your child can then meet you at the gate.

Introducing... The Coolamon Challenge

Nathan and Jackie Marquett are the owners of The Coolamon Quirindi and have kindly donated an icecream voucher for a 'Student of the Week' in infants and primary. Thus, we are introducing 'The Coolamon Challenge'! Each week a challenge will be given to the students - a separate infants and primary challenge. The challenge may be a maths problem, a riddle, a guessing competition or even a spot the difference, and just like any challenge... You've got to be in it to win it! Students will have between Monday and Thursday each week to enter the competition by submitting their answer to Mrs Hofman. On Friday, two students will be drawn out from all correct entries and will receive their Coolamon Quirindi Ice-Cream Voucher.

Our first set of challenges are up for display so it's time to put your thinking caps on!

Primary: What has a face and two arms, but cannot hold anything or smile?

Infants: What has four legs but cannot walk?

Thank you to The Coolamon Quirindi for making this possible!

10c Bottle, Can and Juice Box Donation Drive

To help us raise funds for STEAM resources, we are putting the call out for your empty bottles, cans and juice boxes. Students will be able to bring in their donations each Wednesday to place in the bin provided. Please check that your donations have the 10c label and read the guidelines on the poster above for what you can and can't donate.

Start saving those empty bottles and cans and remember, Sports Day = Donation Day!
