Thank you to everyone who braved the rain and wind to attend our school fair on Saturday! The incredible turnout highlighted the dedication and spirit of our school community.
A special thank you to our amazing Fair Committee, led by Sally Bolzan and Stephanie Cotsworth, with fantastic support from Joanna Weekes, Matt Tilbrook, and staff representatives Ben Phillips and Meg Dickson. To all staff and parent volunteers who contributed time, effort, and donation - your involvement was instrumental in the fair's success.
We extend our gratitude to our generous sponsors:
- Platinum Sponsor: Nelson Alexander
- Gold Sponsors: Titanium Caravans and Kickon Group

The funds raised will go towards resurfacing our basketball courts with synthetic astroturf, improving the space for everyone. Thanks to your support, we’re already halfway to our $100,000 target!
Early Departure Process
On behalf of the front office administration team, I am writing to inform you of an important update regarding the process for collecting students early from school. Due to the increasing number of early pick-ups and the logistical challenges this places on our office staff, we are introducing a new procedure to ensure a smooth and secure collection process for all students.
Effective as of Friday 6th December, the following steps will be required for all early student pick-ups:
- Sign Out on Compass Kiosk: Parents will need to sign their child out on the Compass Kiosk located at the school reception.
- Pick Up a Pink Card: After signing out, you will be given a pink card that indicates your child has been officially signed out.
- Proceed to Classroom: Please take the pink card with you to the classroom to collect your child.
- Hand the Card to the Teacher: When you arrive at the classroom, you must hand the pink card to the teacher before collecting your child. This step ensures that the teacher knows your child has been properly signed out.
- No Pink Card, No Collection: If you do not have a pink card, it will indicate to the teacher that your child has not been signed out properly. In this case, you will be asked to return to front reception to complete the sign-out process.
Additional Reminders:
- Where possible, please schedule appointments outside of school hours to minimize disruption to your child’s learning day.
- Notify the teacher in advance if you need to collect your child early, so they are aware and can prepare your child’s belongings. We will no longer be calling classrooms to have children waiting in reception for pick-up.
- Classroom Timetable: The classroom timetable will be posted on the classroom door so you can easily locate where your child may be if they are not in the classroom at the time of your arrival.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us to streamline the pick-up process and ensure the safety of all our students. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

Camps and Excursions
We will be sending out camp medication forms with all of the upcoming camp information.
Medication forms and medication are to be returned to the Nurse or classroom teacher 1 week prior to camp so we can check and ensure everything is accounted for.
Please refer the above medication instructions about how medication should be delivered.
Failure to have medication delivered in original packaging and labelled correctly will mean it will not be dispensed.
