Capital works

As many of you will be aware we have begun the construction of a STEAM and Music Learning hub. There was a 6 week delay as the builders needed a permit to continue construction. Fortunately, the permit has now been granted and construction will recommence by Week 4. Progression photos will be available on the school’s website and the newsletter.

Timetables

It was certainly a relief that the Compass timetable was available to the school community prior to the commencement of the school year. I thank Jenni Nansen-School Enhancement leader, and Paul Donaldson for ensuring this happened.

School Council Elections

Please head to the Council election page for all the information.
