eSafety information for parents and students
Uniform Checks
Please be advised we are currently doing additional checks of uniform, to ensure school and community standards are being met.
Families will be contacted if there is an ongoing issue. Please refer to the uniform policy available on the website and on page 17 of the Student Handbook.
Gayle Gibson flowers
Early start for some staff who replaced the plants in school garden in memory of Gayle Gibson - we now have a purple daisy GG in Gayle’s memory.
Picnic Day Notes
Find Picnic day notes below or on the school website.
Schoolstream App Security
Thankyou to families who updated their contact details so we could authorise access for registered and approved accounts to absentee and early leave request forms. This gives a further level of security to ensure only authorised caregivers use the App to notify the school of absences, early leave and so on.
We did have some technical issues when we first turned on the settings so some families found they could not access forms. We do apologise for the inconvenience this caused and thank the families who emailed to alert us to the problem.
We are continuing to resolve and I am hopeful by the time this newsletter edition is published, all will be operating smoothly. Please continue to contact us with any issues via the school email. Thank you for your patience - you can reply to email or SMS absence notifications and also call the Office to explain absences, or send in a note for your daughter to hand in to Office A
Safety Alert
Please be on the look out for a black VW van.
It has been reported a van like this may have followed a student as she walked home from school on recent days.
Please walk with friends and on main roads, and if you see a van like this please try to take the number plate.
Police have been informed.

Staffing Update - Farewell to Ms Georgina Nohra from the School Office
Farewell and congratulations to Ms Georgina Nohra, long standing, hard working and much loved member of the School Administration team. Ms Nohra has accepted a transfer to a new school, and also has had the opportunity as she makes the change, to relieve as School Administration Manager. We wish her all the best in her new position.
While relieving Deputy Principal Ms Robyn Andrews had some Long service leave in the first weeks of Term 4, we were ably supported by Ms Venkatesan in the Deputy position and Ms Burgess in the Head Teacher Secondary Studies role.
