No School Fees!
Through regular fundraising projects and the generous support of our
community, we are able to keep compulsory school charges to a minimum. In
2012 families will be charged $10.00 total for the year. Year 7 & 8
students will pay an additional $50 per annum for technology. Other events
such as camps and trips, will be invoiced as required. Financial support is
available for students that need it.
School Visits
We welcome visits from prospective students and their families. We are happy
to show families around the school and can arrange an interview with
teachers and the Principal. Please contact the school for more information.
Preschoolers often visit for a number of sessions before officially starting
school. They can be accompanied by a parent/caregiver or attend on their
own, and can begin with half-days until they are comfortable with the school
routines. Please contact the school Office to discuss enrolment, to meet
with our Principal & teachers and to arrange visits.
Please visit our
Enrolment webpage and our
Getting Ready for School webpage.
