Celebrating our Burkies in the Aurora Program

Term 4 is off to be a busy start for Abby, Mahli and Kaden (Year 5) who were successful in gaining a position in Aurora College's Opportunity Class Pilot for 2020. They have been learning in a Virtual Classroom, along with Keegan (Year 6) two mornings a week and are to be commended on their organisation and enthusiasm for this new way of learning. We also congratulate Gabriella (Year 6) who will undertake part of her learning through Aurora College in Year 7.

School Banking day is THURSDAY

Thank you to all our fabulous banking students who came to see us at our spooky table on Thursday.

It was a great week for banking and we'd like to congratulate the students who received prizes in our surprise raffle draw.

Don't forget that we will be taking deposits each Thursday during lunch time and each deposit earns you a raffle ticket.

Our competition continues until December 5th with our grand prize draw on December 12th at assembly before our last banking session for the year.

New banking students are always welcome.

We've seen plenty of interested little faces who have taken home flyers regarding the program. Accounts can be opened online, in-store or via the application form sent home in week one.

We do have forms available during our banking sessions as well. Siblings of students can also be signed up and take part in school banking. All they need is a YouthSaver account with the Commonwealth bank.

Bring along the account number and we can provide deposit books and add them to our system.

Our new School Stream APP is LIVE!

Our new school app school stream is now live!

We hope you love the new app as much as we do. Please feel free to give us feedback using the feedback form in the app.

We have added in an absence note, new permission to publish note which includes school stream, good news calls of the day and a change of details form in the notes section.

We will be adding more features over the school term so keep a look out!
