On Thursday 23rd July 2026, members of the Australian Education Union (AEU) will participate in a 24 hour stopwork action.
As a result, a number of our leadership, teaching and education support staff will be participating. This will impact our ability to operate the full school program as normal.
We are providing early notice of this action to support families in making alternative arrangements where required.
Please complete this form by 3:00pm Wednesday 22nd July.
Our term 3 classroom information session for parents/carers only will be held on Wednesday, July 22nd (week 2, term 3), starting promptly at 4pm and concluding at 4.30pm.
These sessions are opportunities for parents to meet the class teacher and gain more knowledge of class programs, and the main focus will be shared at the beginning of next term.
We understand that it can be difficult to obtain supervision for students during this time and to further support participation in the sessions, families will also be able to join in online.
We look forward to seeing you online or in person for this session.

We’re excited to be welcoming volleyball to our school from 27–31 July as part of the Sporting Schools program.
Sporting Schools allows students to experience different sports in a fun, supportive environment, encouraging them to get active, build confidence, learn new skills and, most importantly, enjoy participating.
Throughout the week, students in Rooms 19–26 will take part in volleyball sessions with experienced coaches. Whether they’re picking up a volleyball for the first time or building on skills they already have, the focus will be on having a go, working together and celebrating each student’s successes.
We’re looking forward to seeing our students embrace this exciting opportunity and enjoy a wonderful week of movement, learning and fun.
