You can convert all of your Christmas Cheer from bottles and cans (or any you collect) into money that goes straight into our school bank account, to spend on making our school environment even more awesome. Just quote the number at a drop off centre like the fabulous one opposite Bunnings on Collier Road. Ms Roberts went this morning with a box full of bottles and cans and donated the cash to Hillcrest by quoting the number. This one is open weekdays and Saturday mornings. Drive in, drop off and drive out. Simple. #schoolonthehill #SchoolofChoice

05.01.2022 Good afternoon everyone, I am very sorry to let you know, but we have made the difficult decision to postpone tomorrow night’s Arts Showcase / Edu Dance Concert. After speaking at length with the Bureau of Meteorology, we have ascertained that storms are predicted from 11am until 11pm tomorrow. This is highly unusual for this time of year, and while there won’t be much rain involved, there may be wind, thunder and lightning. The safety of the kids is our first priority, so I ...hope you will understand the reason behind this decision. We are very lucky that we were able to secure an alternate date for the concert of next Wednesday, 16th December. All the details remain the same with the canteen operating and the Visual Arts room being available prior to the concert starting. The order of performances has not changed. The concert will begin at 5:30 pm on the oval. Tomorrow’s final class will now be next Wednesday in preparation for the evening. The Kindy Green and Blue groups will be practising on Tuesday. If you haven’t heard, tomorrow is our last opportunity for fundraising for Wheelchairs for kids. Christmas dress theme for a gold coin donation. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. See you all next week. Yours sincerely, Liz Ford #schoolonthehill #SchoolofChoice
