School Photos
Please be reminded that photos for the whole school will take place on Monday 24 February, commencing at 9am. Photos for the children at Arlington will be taken before they head off to the swimming program. As there will not be a 'catch up' photo day it is important that your child attends on this day.
Individual student photos will automatically generate a student ID card; these are at no cost and Public Transport Victoria (PTV) approved.

You are invited to a fun evening of music and joy at our annual Musical Tasting Plate on Wednesday 26 February from 6pm - 7pm in the Kevin Borland Hall.
