17.01.2022 There is no Friday Sport this week as it is the last day of term. Unfortunately we have had parents attending sporting grounds to spectate. If this continues, we will be re evaluating our participation in Interschool Sport. Please, we ask that there are no spectators at any sporting grounds. This includes parents sitting in their vehicles, as this could be seen as the school promoting an event which draws a crowd. Thank you for your continued support in keeping our school community safe.

15.01.2022 Break up or Party Day for all classes will be on Monday 7th December. Due to COVID restrictions with handling of food, a decision has been made to provide all students, free of charge, with pizza, chips and a zooper dooper on this day. We have catered for those students requiring gluten free. Although there is some party food, it is recommended that additional food from home be provided on that day. If you would prefer your child not to partake in the food provided, you are most welcome to supply them with their own lunch.

15.01.2022 Could all Friday Sport uniforms be returned as soon as possible please.
