CLASSES FOR 2025

Next Thursday we will be sending letters home to families with details about classes and teachers for next year. Then starting on Friday afternoon, we will have classes for 2025 doing activities with their new teachers. We will do this for each Friday for the following 3 weeks and we will finish this on the Statewide Transition day on Tuesday 10th December where students will spend the morning with their new classes. We think this extended transition time will help classes really settle and be ready to go at the start of 2025. Making classes is a great deal of work and sometimes everyone does not get to be with the people they would most love to be with and so we appraciate your undertsanding around this. We look very closely at which students work well together and what will make the most cohesive groups.




Parent Contribution Arrangements for 2025


We value the role of our school community in supporting the education and well-being of our students. We pride ourselves in how we manage the resources we are given at our school and we make every dollar count. Your support, in what we feel are extremely reasonable voluntary parent contributions, is greatly appreciated and enables us to extend what can provide. Our voluntary parent contributions are vastly smaller than most schools in our area, and so we ask that if you can, please consider contributing.


Our goal is to make school contributions as manageable as possible. Payment plans, installments, and financial assistance options are available to all families to ensure equitable access to the best possible learning experience. For more information or to discuss payment options, please contact our school office – we’re here to help!

We have emailed your child's relevant parent contribution document and you can also find them on our website.


Victorian School Saving Bonus


We’re pleased to remind families of the Victorian School Saving Bonus, a fantastic initiative aimed at supporting families with the costs of education. This bonus, provided by the Victorian Government, offers eligible families financial support to help manage school expenses. It’s a great opportunity to receive assistance and invest in your child’s education.


For more information on eligibility and how to apply, please visit HERE or contact our office for guidance.


Thank you for partnering with us to create a strong and supportive school community. Every contribution, big or small, helps us provide a quality education for all our students.
