Principal's Message

Dear Families, 


Looking forward to seeing all grade 3-6 students participating in our swimming trials day at Mandalay today. Please make sure your child has their bathers, towel, change of clothes, hat and sunscreen!


Meet & Greets

We have our Meet & Greet afternoons starting next week on Wednesday and Thursday. All families are invited to book in for a 10 min conversation with your child’s teacher. Please check ‘Conferences’ on Compass to make a booking or call the Office. 


Safer Internet Day

Tuesday 11th February is a global day of action bringing communities, schools, organisations and families from more than 180 countries together to raise awareness of online safety issues and work towards a safer internet. Next Tuesday all classes will complete an activity on cyber-safety to continue to educate our young people. 


Campus Assemblies

A reminder that our first assemblies for the year will be taking place this coming Monday. We are changing things up this year, we have new awards and certificates and additional hosts of each of the assemblies.

Medication Process

If your child suffers from a medical condition and required medication, 
please see our Admin /First Aid team with a plan and any medication. At this time we will also have you fill out a medication Authority form. If your child does not need medication, but requires other care, please speak to our admin staff.
Medication cannot stay, or be left in your child's bag.

Any medication that was not collected at the end of 2024 or that was out of date has been disposed of and will need to be replaced as soon as possible. Communication was sent home last year regarding this.  

If you child no longer suffers from a medical condition or illness, please speak to the admin team, so our records can be adjusted. 

Please call the school is you require any further assistance.
