Visitor Sign-In Requirements

We would like to remind all parents that if you are entering any building of the school at any time and for any reason, you must sign in using the QR code. The code is posted on external entrances to the school.  If you are not able to sign in with the QR code then you must go directly to the office and sign in manually.  This is in line with government requirements.

COMPASS

Compass is our main form of communication with families across the school, including such things as newsletters, excursions, reports and emergency management. It also allows for families to update absences (a Department of Education requirement) and communicate with your child’s teacher. It is essential that all families have access to this important program either via the app on a phone (Apple or android), iPad or Computer. If you are having any issues using the program or cannot access due to a forgotten password, please come and see us at the office and we can assist you. 

Department of Education and Training Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) Applications

The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund helps eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities.

If you have a valid means-tested concession card, such as a Veterans Affairs Gold Card, Centrelink Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, or are a temporary foster parent, you may be eligible. There is also a special consideration category for asylum seeker and refugee families.

Payment amounts this year are $125 for eligible primary school students. Payments are made direct to the school to use towards expenses relating to camps, excursions and sporting activities for the benefit of your child.

If you applied for CSEF through our school last year, you do not need to complete an application form this year, unless there has been a change in your family circumstances such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing at the school in 2021.

If you would like to apply for the first time or have any further questions, please speak to the office.
