This term, Year Six students undertook an educational tour of the national capital.  While on this tour they participated in a variety of educational programmes focused on Australia’s history,  culture, heritage and democracy.

The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit their National  

Capital as part of their civics and citizenship education.  To assist in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributing funding under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate (PACER) program toward the travel expenses incurred.  This contribution is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion.

We would like to thank the Australian Government for their support of this program. The excursion was a rewarding  experience for all the students in Year 6.

COMPASS
Parents consent to excursions through the parent portal.
Parents now provide online consent to events (School excursions & sporting events) via the parent portal. This means excursion notes will no longer be sent home in a hard copy. Parents will receive an email alert directing them to log into their Compass site to view the excursion note and provide consent.

Please ensure your email address is up to date. This can be done via the Compass portal. If you have not logged into Compass or require another copy of your log in letter, please make contact with the school office.

It is imperative that all parents log into Compass as at the end of Term 3, Friday, 27 September 2019, the Skoolbag app will be turned off and all parent correspondence and alerts will be via the Compass parent portal only.

Mackillop Awards
Students who are eligible to receive a MacKillop medallion are asked to submit the required number of Principal awards to the school office no later than Friday, 6 December 2019.

Unfortunately awards submitted after this date cannot be accepted as sufficient time is required for the printing of award certificates
