Welcome
Welcome to the 2024 school year. There have been significant changes in and around the school over the holiday period and we have spent the start of the year becoming accustomed to some of the changes. These include changes to bell times, the work on our front car park and changed traffic conditions around the school. I thank everyone for their perseverance and patience in adapting to these changes.
Staffing
It is wonderful to welcome back Mahtab Parvaresh (Science teacher) and Natalie Burns (Media teacher) from maternity leave. We also look forward to the arrival of our new Deputy Principal Dr Robert Jacob in mid-March. Buddy, our wellbeing dog will commence his duties very soon.

Childsafe Reminders
It is an expectation that all adults in our community will follow the Childsafe standards. If you have not yet done so, please make the time to read our new Childsafe Policies which can be found on the school website.
It is particularly important that all adults follow the Childsafe Code of Conduct so please reacquaint yourself with this document which can be found here:
Over the coming weeks, there are several school events parents might choose to attend. Please note the following important Childsafe expectations;
- Adults should not enter any of the student toilet areas for any reason. Parents, or parents with toddlers, who need the toilet, should use the adult toilets in Reception.
- Parents must avoid taking photos or videos which contain other students. If you plan to post photos or videos of your children on social media, please ensure other children are cropped out or seek the permission of their parents before posting the photo/video. If a parent/carer requests that you do not circulate an image of their child to others, please comply with the request.
The eSafety Commissioner provides additional recommendations to help protect children’s privacy online and we encourage all families to visit www.esafety.gov.au for more information.
