Parent Payments and Financial Contributions 

We would like to express our thanks and acknowledge the families who have opted to make a financial contribution (either via the COS parent portal or directly to the school) towards the 2023 Parent Payments or made a donation to the school's building fund to date. These financial contributions have a great positive impact on our students, enabling us to purchase valuable supplies and equipment, further upkeep our school grounds and engage our students in experiences such as the 2022 Indonesian day performances, sports days and much more.

If you would like to make a Parent Contribution towards the 2023 Parent Payment or make a tax deductible donation to the school's Building Fund, please contact the school office. 

Parent Payments of any amount (regular, scheduled or one off) are gratefully accepted at anytime throughout the school year via BPay, Cash or EFTPOS.   

Full detailed Parent Payment information for 2023 can be found on the school's website or by clicking here.

Funky Hair Day! Thurs 6th April

On Thursday, 6th April, we are having a Funky Hair Day! Students are encouraged to come to school in their funkiest hairdos! There will be a Gold Coin Collection on this day also. 

What is CF?

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common inherited, life threatening condition affecting young Australians. For a child to be born with CF both parents must be genetic carriers for CF. Cystic Fibrosis is life shortening and there is no cure.

All money raised for our Funky Hair Day will go towards helping Cystic Fibrosis Community Care in Australia provide vital support to those suffering from cystic fibrosis.

Good luck!

Stolen Bikes

We have recently had 2 bikes, that we know of, taken from our outdoor bike area outside of the library window.  These were taken after school hours. 

We are more than happy for bikes to be left at school overnight and even over the weekend however they must be secured by a bike lock or chain and placed in the bike area behind the canteen, as this space is locked behind gates - it is a more secure option. Bikes may also be able to be stored indoors if prearranged with your classroom teacher or the office. 

Unfortunately, we cannot take responsibility personal items bought to school such as; bikes, scooters, toys etc.

CSEF Applications OPEN

The CSEF (Camps, Sports & Excursions Fund) provides eligible families with a payment of $125 per child to assist in meeting financial commitments for their child/ren's school camps and excursions. 

If you hold a current Health Care or Concession Card, you may be eligible to receive this payment.

Please note: If you have previously applied for and received the CSEF payment in 2022, you do not need to re-apply each year.
