23.01.2022 LAST SPECIAL LUNCH FOR 2020. Orders close on Friday 27/11/20

22.01.2022 For some people, Father's Day is a wonderful celebration of the dad who proudly cheers at every school carnival, the dad who loves school pick-up and drop-off, ...and the dad who always helps with homework. But for other people, Father's Day is a reminder of what they might not have. That's why there is no one-size-fits-all for today.

21.01.2022 THANK YOU to all of the volunteers at our working bee this morning. We planted over 100 plants and moved a truck load of mulch!

14.01.2022 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Dear families, As you are aware, we are from midnight tonight going into a state-wide lockdown for 6 days. Tomorrow and Friday we are required to run a skeleton staff for only essential workers children.... If you are required to attend a workplace as an essential worker, please EMAIL US IMMEDIATELY at [email protected] to let us know that your child will need to attend on the next two days so we can arrange appropriate staffing. You do not need to let us know if your child is not attending. We will not be running a full school program, it will be providing care and supervision of your child if you are an essential worker. Please be safe and assured that we will keep you informed. Kind regards, Kellie & Anita Leadership Team

14.01.2022 Wow!!! last tabloid event is about to start and championships scores are tied!!

12.01.2022 . A lot of warnings have been issued for children to stay off social media, specifically Tik Tok, d...ue to a graphic self harm video that’s circulating. While we do recommend that parents monitor their children or keep them off the platform, it's a band-aid solution for a long-term issue due to the fact that distressing videos constantly circulate online. Instead we would like to encourage all parents and guardians to -: 1 . Understand that they will most likely use it, whether you understand the appeal or not. Ask them what apps they use, find out why they like those apps. Start a dialogue so you can start understanding why it’s important to them. The more you understand about it, the more you can stay across it. 2 . If you know what apps they’re using, help them make their profile as secure as possible, whether it’s TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitch or Reddit (the list is endless). You can do this with the help of this eSafety Commissioner guide: www.esafety.gov.au/key-issues/esafety-guide 3 . Be open and willing to listen. Make them aware of Kids Helpline Official (1800 55 1800), Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636), headspace (headspace.org.au) and Lifeline (13 11 14) so they know they have a place to contact if they don’t feel comfortable approaching you. 4 . Kids often create a social media profile that they make visible to you, but keep their actual profile under a fake name hidden from you. Again, this is why we encourage you to talk to your child openly and honestly. 5 . If your child watches YouTube videos, please be aware there's no guarantee that this content will be safe for kids. People can easily edit distressing videos for kids that slip through the filters. If you can't monitor your child on YouTube then let them watch Netflix kids instead as it has stronger filters. SBS and ABC iview are both free alternatives for children’s online content. The Office of the eSafety Commissioner is a great resource for parents, guardians and kids: www.esafety.gov.au
