Parking

It has come to our attention that people are parking in the disabled carparks near the school. Please be mindful that we have parents/carers who have disabled parking permits and cannot access these areas when needed.

We also kindly remind everyone to please be mindful of parking on Cecil Street, especially during drop-off and pick-up times. Double parking is becoming a concern and creates a dangerous environment for our students and families.

To ensure everyone’s safety, we ask that you use the designated parking areas and avoid stopping in no-parking zones or double parking. Following these guidelines helps keep traffic flowing and protects our children.

SEMESTER TWO P and F Events Volunteer Call out

Greetings to our great community.

We had a Parents and Friends Association meeting recently and planned out our Second Semester Events.
Our PFA is based on a community model that rather than asking volunteers to commit for the whole year, we ask them to commit to one or two events only, making it much easier to manage in our busy lives. It has been a very successful model with much less stress on our volunteers.
So please look at the list, choose one or two events and put your name down. Some events require lots of volunteers, others just need a few. Most events only require 1 or 2 hours to volunteer and it is a great way to meet and connect with other families.
Thanks, these events benefit your children and your support is really appreciated.
Some things that have been funded through P and F Fundraising
- New Sand Pit Area (94K)
- Musical Cubby (14k)
- Contribution towards to help set up new p-2 Maths Program (3k)
