School Contributions

 

As you would be aware, a huge part of the success of our school is the ongoing commitment and support we receive from families. 

We recently distributed the details of payment information for 2022 via Compass. 

 

If you have not yet acted on this information, we encourage you to do so.

Shade Sail Works and Outdoor Inclusive Learning Settings

 

School Council members have been hard at work campaigning for improved outdoor learning spaces for our school. 

 

We are pleased to announce that over the coming Summer break we will be having shade sails installed over the handball courts (which is a very popular play space). Please refer to the images below:

As you may be aware, in mid-2021 our school was awarded an "Inclusive Schools Capital Works Grant" through the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA). 

 

Plans have now been finalised, and works are due to commence at the end of May 2022. The capital works include an outdoor all-weather classroom, and a fully covered all-weather stage area. 

 

Following the completion of the VSBA works, School Council have allocated funds to enhance this area with additional shade sailing over a large expanse of the area indicated. Please refer to the images below:
