Principal's Message - Meaghan Cook

This year has taught us the value of reflection, evaluation and adjustment and I must congratulate our students, teachers and our parents for working closely with the campus to implement COVID-19 changes, keeping connected through the parent portal, our newsletters, Facebook and our website.

We continue to hold our assemblies virtually and it has highlighted the innovation, resilience and dedication of our students in embracing these technology changes.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Parent-teacher interviews provide an important opportunity to discuss your child’s progress with their teachers. This year as a result of COVID-19 we will be asking parents to provide an expression of interest to request a phone interview with your child's teachers rather than face-to-face parent/teacher conference.

The process will happen exactly the same way as face-to-face but over the phone. Each interview is 5 minutes. Forms need to be completed by Sunday 30 August
