2020 TERM DATES

Term 2 2020 FEE STATEMENTS

Term 2 Fee Statements were emailed to parents by Wednesday 6 May 2020 and were due for payment by Friday 15 May 2020. 

Families who have not paid or made payment arrangements with the Business Manager by the due date should be aware that a late penalty of $55.00 (GST included) may be imposed. The School has BPAY facilities and we encourage parents to avail themselves of this.

To assist families to budget for their school fee payments, we also offer weekly, fortnightly, bi-monthly or monthly payment plans.  For further information, please contact Mrs Lesley Hedley, Assistant Business Manager, in the School Office.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

We are aware that some families have been directly affected by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic with job loss, significant reduction in work hours or business closure, causing significant financial stress.

All schools of the Anglican Schools Commission will provide tuition fee assistance to those families who are now experiencing financial stress due to loss of employment. The level of tuition fee support will be commensurate with the new financial circumstances in which families find themselves due to the impact of COVID-19 on the Australian economy. 

Affected families are invited to contact the School Business Manager, Kylie Anastazjew, bursar@fias.wa.edu.au so we can work with you on a solution that best fits your situation. Given the changing nature of measures necessary to combat COVID-19, financial arrangements will cover the period to the end of Term 2, with an assurance that we will review this position in June in relation to ongoing enrolments.

PUBLISHED AUTHORS 

Twelve students who are now in Years 6 and 7 took part in the Write a A Book Project as Year 5 and 6 students in 2019.

The students were in groups of six and were given their brief and then set about brainstorming and collaborating their creative ideas.  The idea was to come up with one story which had to be a warning tale and include a repeating rhyme.

All students did their own illustrations, layout and editing. It was then sent to be published at the end of Term 4, 2019.   A copy of each book was presented to Head of Library, Mrs Anne Johannesen.

Year 7:
Leia Singh, Katie-Rose Bath, Matilda Hamson, Lilly Payne, Tahlia Hill, Jessica Meares

Year 6:
Stella Lewis, Kyara Grove, Manel van den Kerckhove, Hannah Paton, Lily Westwater, Andre Gilleece

ART GALLERY HONOUR

Kate Johnson from our Class of 2019 had her artwork, titled ‘Your Trash is My Treasure’, selected to be on display in the Art Gallery of Western Australia this year.
After judging by an expert panel, Kate’s photographic and mixed media sculptural installation was chosen to be showcased amongst a group of talented young artists. The exhibition displays the work of Year 12 students who graduated the previous year and is titled ‘Pulse Perspectives’ (formerly known as Year 12 Perspectives).
The aim of the exhibition is to highlight and recognise the most talented young artists in the state and to gauge the pulse of young people who will influence, empower and shape the world we live in.
The selected works provide a window into young people’s private, social and artistic concerns; an inspiring, rewarding and insightful look at the world through the minds of our most creative.

As the exhibition was closed to the public they made it available through a Virtual Tour. You can have a wander through the incredible exhibition and experience the works in situ from a distance:
