Transition tips
Back to school is an exciting time for students and families. It can be a big step – particularly for those starting prep or moving to secondary school.
For advice in multiple languages on how parents can help their child have a positive start to school, refer to Tips for starting school.
Help with school costs
Encourage families at your schools to contact you if they are having difficulty with school costs. Programs like Affordable School Uniforms and the Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund can help with the cost of school uniforms and other essential school items as well as school activities for eligible students.
For more information for parents, refer to Help with school costs and fees.
Tissues Needed
We hope each family can provide at least one box of tissues to their class to assist in managing the spread of germs.
ANZAC Day
Coming up in April is ANZAC Day one of our Nation’s most important days. ANZAC Day goes beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915. It is the day we remember all Australians who have served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations.
The spirit of ANZAC, with its human qualities of courage, mate ship, and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identity.
ANZAC Day is on Tuesday 25th April 2023.
(Students are not required to attend school on this day.)
