Pupil Free Day - FRIDAY 30th July:

Parking:

Parents please be mindful when parking around the school grounds at drop off and pick up times. Parents of non prep children should not be using the Prep carpark for drop off or pick up. The Prep carpark is strictly for parents of Prep children.

Parents using the access driveway off Neil Street of a morning, we ask you to not use this access as it is strictly only for staff and deliveries. As the Tuckshop is now located in the Mercy Centre, we also have a number of delivery drivers accessing this driveway, so it can become quite busy. Parents can use this driveway of an afternoon if your child is enrolled in After School Care. Thank you for your understanding.

RADII Survey:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Survey

This year our school will be participating in a School Review and Improvement survey managed by Research Australia Development and Innovation Institute (RADII). As well as school staff and students from Years 5 - 12, all parents are invited to participate in the survey. The survey provides valuable feedback for the future directions of our school.The RADII survey has been sent via email to all parents to complete the survey online. If both parents' email addresses are on file at the school, the invitation will be sent to both parents. However, the survey will close once the first person has completed it. If you do not wish to complete the survey, simply delete it. The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. You can complete the survey from anywhere you have access to the internet. The survey will close on Sunday, 08 August 2021. We encourage you to be very honest in your responses to the surveys. All responses go directly to RADII so they are confidential and anonymous. When the surveys are completed, and responses aggregated by RADII, overall data is sent to us so that we can then share the findings with you.
