To ensure you receive all communication via Compass, please have the app downloaded on your phone, with the notifications turned ON.
Although the school pushes out notifications via the app and email, there may be times when an important message may be missed as emails may sometimes not be checked regularly.
If there were to be an emergency, (hopefully not), information would be pushed out via Compass.
Payments online
All online payments are now made using COMPASS.
Dropping something off?
Please label item/s with their full name and class.
Absences
Please use the Compass app to notify your child's teacher of their absence/s.
Kindy Parents/Carers
Sometimes children have 'accidents'. Where possible, we provide them with a clean dry change of clothes. Please keep spare underpants and socks in their bag, just in case.
Dropping off/collecting your child
If you are collecting your child early or dropping them off late, please come to the Office window on Eaton Street. Squeeze 'Charlie' the Chook and we will organise a note for the student. Also, if you are dropping anything off for your child, please ensure all items are LABELLED with full name & class.
Change of address/contacts
If you have moved recently or changed Emergency Contacts or mobile numbers, please email the Office so details can be updated.
Financial Difficulties
If you are experiencing financial difficulties, please contact the office or Mrs Lambos.

The test window is from Tuesday 13 March (Term 1, Week 7) until Monday 25 March (Term 1, Week 9).
In 2024, NAPLAN will be held from Wednesday 13 March to Monday 25 March. Students in Years 3 and 5 who are enrolled at a school are expected to participate in four NAPLAN tests: writing, reading, conventions of language (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and numeracy.
All schools in NSW undertake NAPLAN online. However, Year 3 students do the writing test on paper. Teachers will ensure students are familiar with the format of the tests before the NAPLAN test window.
