Student Free Days

School Council has this week approved the final two student free days for 2025. 

On Friday, October 31st, teachers will be undertaking tasks including reporting writing, assessment and professional development both on site at school and off site elsewhere. 

On Monday, November 24th, we will host noted classroom management guru Bill Rogers who will present to staff on a range of practices and approaches to ensure class time is focussed on learning for all students. 

As noted previously, our next student free day  will take place on the final day of Term 3, Friday September 19th with staff undertaking a Curriculum Day. The final day for students in Term 3 will be Thursday, September 18th with a 2.30pm finish. 

Working with Children Check

Recently in the news there has been much discussion around child safety including the Working with Children Check (WWCC). A WWCC is a vital commodity for parents to have for a range of reasons. For our purposes, we require a WWCC for those wanting to volunteer for excursions or camps. Ensuring we have a valid WWCC is important, as we check off the validity on the day of the event to ensure that the WWCC is still current. If you haven't already applied for a WWCC
