OSHC - Early finish time reminder
A reminder to parents that Thursday 1st April is the last day of term 1 and OSHC will finish at 5pm. Please note the earlier pick up time.
Student Pickup
Reminder to drivers who are picking their children up – Please remember to be looking out for young students. Children waiting at the back gate pick up for their parents will only be allowed to leave the college grounds if they can see their parents/car. We do not want children wandering through cars to get to their own car. Please park in a ‘safe’ place for your children to get to. It is even safer for parents to collect their children.

Junior Neighbourhood Watch Program
Students in Years 5-6 participated in their second session of the Junior Neighbourhood Watch Program with Constable Joe Clark from Mildura Police Station. He taught students all about crime scenes and how students can keep their homes safe from break-ins. This was followed by a demonstration of how police collect fingerprints at crime scenes. Students were amazed to see the process. We can’t wait for the next one.
