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.

Outdoor Inclusive Learning Settings
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:
