2023 Class Structures
It's that time of year again! I am currently considering the class structures for 2023 based on the number of students we anticipate will be enrolled with us next year. Please let me know via email if there is a chance you are moving away or considering enrolling elsewhere. This will ensure we plan for any fluctuation in numbers that may impact our school. We aim to maintain 4 classes in 2023 and hope to provide further details in coming weeks to assist students transition.
School Swimming and Water Safety Program
We have been working with the School Sports Unit to set dates for the School Swimming and Water Safety Program. Due to swimming teacher staff shortages, we will need to run the program in Term 1 2023. We will provide details about the dates of the program once confirmed.
School Uniform
We have school jumpers in stock and available via the office for purchase.
Folk Festival Performers!
Our students who performed at the Folk Festival were really impressive! Thank you to our parents and family members who came along to support our students. Thank you to our musical director and conductor Kat Bevis and Mrs Gripper for supporting our students to prepare for the day.
