School Crossing

Once operational traffic wardens will operate at the front of the school on Tihi Street from 3.00 to 3.15pm.

For the safety of all our children we ask for your assistance and consideration at eliminating congestion just before and after school hours. Please do not enter the staff carpark to collect your child, rather arrange a meeting point for their safe collection. Continual disregard will be reported to the council.

School Donation

Each year the BOT asks for voluntary donations to supplement the school’s budget. These donations help support and enhance many aspects of the school curriculum and activities. The donations may be made each term or as one annual payment.

All donations are tax deductible and a receipt will be issued.

All students wanting to register for a WSB will be allocated a ticket which is clipped each time they walk. Once a whole ticket is clipped, they receive a certificate and small gift once a term at the whole school assembly.
