COVID Cases
Over the past week, we have had a number of COVID cases within the school community. We have also had a number of students that have been sick with the flu. If symptoms occur at anytime, your child should not attend school until they are well and symptom-free.
Hills Performing Arts Festival
A number of our students will be performing at the Hills Performing Arts Festival at the end of this month. With the event being very popular, the tickets did sell out very quickly. I would like to thank the teachers who volunteer their time to prepare our choir and dance groups for this event and provide the students with this great experience.
Kindergarten Enrolments for 2026

Congratulations to Cameron Podmore who represented Sydney West at the State Rugby Championships that were held last week. We are proud of his achievements.
Stage 3 Excursion to Canberra- Parliament and Civics Education Rebate
Students from our school undertook an education tour of the national capital. They were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy. The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government contributed funding of $30 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards the costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion and reduced the final cost for parents.
