Dear Families,

Voluntary Contributions 2025

Thank you to all those families who have responded to the last newsletter and their statements and have paid their Voluntary Contributions. 

Without the $30 per student, we are limited to what we can provide.  This money also goes towards iPads, Maths and Literacy resources, extra items such as materials for clubs, spare uniform for students. For those families who would like to have a payment plan for any payments to the school including the year 6 camp, just call into the office and ask.

Uniform

In recent weeks we have notice an increase in students coming to school not wearing the correct uniform – This includes

Bike Shorts

Leggings

Coloured jumpers

Make-up/nail varnish

Please be reminded about the uniform policy attached below, Students may wear shorts/leggings underneath a skirt/short.  If your child has lost their school jacket, there are lots to be found in lost property, we also have some spares in the school office which we are happy to donate to any families that require one.

Brekkie Club

Please remember Brekkie Club (Thursday) club starts 07:40am in the art room, some students are arriving after 8am and it’s a rush for them to eat and tidy up before 08:20. All are welcome, I look forward to seeing your children.

 

Lunches for students

Should your child arrive at school with no lunch/recess for any reason, please be comforted in the fact that we are able to provide them with a sandwich, snack and also fruit (when available).  If your child has forgotten their lunch, we will contact you and give you the option of dropping something off or having a sandwich prepared at school.  If any families are suffering hardship and would like an occasional lunch provided for their child/ren please advise the office any anytime.
