From the Principal’s desk

If you have any concerns about your child at school, please first make a mutually convenient time to see the class teacher. Other questions may also be referred to the Assistant Principal who looks after the Stage. These people are:

Early Stage One (Kindergarten) - Mrs Lisa Neave Stage One (Years 1 & 2) - Mrs Gaylene Barker Stage Two (Years 3 & 4) - Mrs Keira Temesvary Stage Three (Years 5 & 6) - Mrs Lauren Lockyer Special Education (support classes) - Mrs Sarah Heath

At times, it is unpreventable that there are teachers away or involved in their own professional learning. Whilst the school does its best to keep classes running in normal routine, a shortage of casual teachers may require a class to "be split". This means students take planned work with for the day to another class. They are supervised at all times and work is still checked.

Our canteen is in desperate need of volunteers to serve students during the breaks. Even if you have half an hour during the recess or lunch break, this would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Debbie at the canteen if you would like more information.
