Term 4 is a Sunsmart term

Just a reminder that Term 4 is a Sunsmart Term and hats need to be worn outside for play and lessons.

PLEASE name your hats. We do not have spares, and we do not share hats. 

Students must wear their own, wide-brimmed hat or stay undercover.

DET Scholarships

Scholarships are payments to help you with the cost of your child's education.

They're generally offered based on:

• financial need or difficulties
• your child's school results
• school and community activities your child takes part in.

Most scholarships that DET offer are for Victorian government school students. A small number are also open to non-government school students.

For more information including how to apply please go to this link: https://www.education.vic.gov.au/parents/learning/Pages/student-scholarships.aspx

Please note: applications for future scholarships open again on 20th September 2021 and usually close early in the following year. Closing dates are strictly enforced.

Hi Kalinda community,

I'm so excited to be seeing you all back very soon! I just wanted to let you know that my name is now Irene (previously Anna). I will wear a badge at school to help you learn the new name. 

Thanks everyone and see you soon!

2021 PREP CSEF UNIFORM PACKAGE EXTENDED

Due to the prolonged lockdown in Term 3, 2021 we have extended the 2021 Prep CSEF uniform package until the end of Term 4, 2021.

 This means that any families/carers that have not yet submitted their forms can still do so until the end of this term. 

Hopefully this means that these kids will have the items they need to get back to school.  All the information for these packages can be found on our website here.

Please contact the school office for more details.
