School News

Student Illness

Illness

Please do not send your child to school if they are sick.

The school asks that if your child is unwell, they are kept at home until they are fully recovered, regardless of the type of illness your child has.
If your child presents to the sick bay feeling unwell, parents will be phoned to collect their child.

Attendance Notes

For any whole day absence, parents will need to access their Compass parent portal and log the absence before 11am on the day their child is not at school.  If you fail to do this you will receive a Compass alert requesting that you explain your child’s absence on the day your child is away.  The school must receive notification of the reason for the absence within 7 days of the return to school. In the event that an explanation is not supplied the absence will be recorded as Unjustified/Unexplained.  

Partial Absences

We ask that you do not enter an attendance note if your child has a partial absence (eg; arriving late or leaving early). These will be entered by office staff when you are in the foyer to drop off or collect your children.

School Photos

School photos will take place this Friday, 2 June 2023. All orders can be placed online (including sibling photos). 


All students are required to wear their full winter uniform. (No sports uniform to be worn)


School photography information:
  • Online orders - do not require an envelope returned to your school
  • Sibling Photos - Don’t forget to pre-order your sibling photos online up to 24 hours before photo day. We provide your school with a list of sibling orders right up to the day of photography, so no one misses out. If you miss the online order deadline, you can submit a completed sibling order envelope first thing in the morning of the day of photography, so your school is aware you want the photo taken and can bring your children together in time for it. Sibling photographs only apply to children enrolled at your school. Please note not all schools offer sibling photos
  • Late fees - a late fee will be applied to each package purchased after photo day due to the additional cost of producing these packages separately
  • Package delivery - School photographs will be returned approximately 6 weeks after the day of photography. Please note this delivery time frame is dependent on proofing and additional photography days at your school.

Boys School Tie

The school has been notified by the manufaturer that there will be a slight delay on delivery of our latest boys tie order. A compass alert will be sent once they arrive.
As of Term 3 2032,there will be a price increase to boys school ties. This is the first increase to the cost of a school tie in over ten years.  The new cost of boys school ties will be $30 for both small and large.
