25.01.2022 School Photo Day Tuesday 11 August Our class and individual student photos will be taken from 11:00am on Tuesday. Students are required to be in uniform. This includes either school polo, striped rugby jumper or royal blue jumper/jacket and navy pants/trousers/shorts or basic jeans. They will be asked to take off any outer jackets, including the school navy jacket. Unfortunately, dark coloured clothing does not photograph well and the quality of the photos isnt as good.... Please ensure that your child is in uniform on Tuesday. If this is a problem, we do have a limited amount of striped rugby jumpers for students to borrow for the photos.

19.01.2022 We are looking forward to welcoming our K-6 students and our 11/12 students back to school tomorrow. To minimise the number of adults in and around our school, please drop your children off in the mornings and collect in the afternoons as quickly as possible, while adhering to physical distancing. We also ask that you do not congregate in the car park. A reminder that our 7-10 students dont return until Tuesday 9 June.

18.01.2022 Update - we have a winner! Well done Fletcher Zantuck, he guessed 240 lollies, there were 244 in the container. Guess how many lollies are in the jar - fundraiser We are running a fundraiser for the 3-4 excursions later this week. This would normally be their annual camp. This year, due to Covid, they are participating in 2 excursions instead of a camp.... A lolly jar will be brought around classes tomorrow (Tuesday 24 November). Students will be given the opportunity to guess how many lollies are in it, this will be written down. Guesses cost $1. The jar will then be in the main office until 2.50 Wednesday, guesses can be made there. The person closest to the correct number of lollies will win the jar and contents!
