School information

Catholic Education Week

As Catholic schools, we recognise and proclaim that we are dependent on God and God’s gifts to us, and we are challenged to use them to develop each and every one to their full humanity and to contribute to the task of building God’s Kingdom on Earth. 

Catholic Education Week is an opportunity for all Catholic schools to celebrate our distinctive mission and share things that are special about our schools and ethos with families, parish and the wider community.

Sport

The children who have qualified for Campaspe Cross Country will participate in this on Thursday 19th May. The venue is still to be confirmed due to the 208 bridge being updated. Mr McMillan will be running a “running club” to help them practice, more details to come. 

Children in Prep- 2 are currently doing Yoga in Sport. Yoga helps the children improve their balance, strength and flexibility.

Lunch Orders 

Students are able to order their lunch on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  We encourage you to order online but if you decide to send money and order to school in a brown paper bag please note no change is given. 

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR CHILD'S YEAR LEVEL TO AVOID YOUR CHILD'S LUNCH GOING TO THE WRONG CLASS.

Online details and price list will be shared with families once received.

Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) 

If you have a current Health Care Card or Pension Card, you may be eligible for the Camps/ Sports/ Excursions Fund (CSEF) payment. 

The CSEF is an annual payment of $125 to the school to be used towards camps, sports and / or excursion expenses for the benefit of the eligible student.
