Have Fun with Reading and Math over the Holidays
The ‘summer slide’ is a well-known fact of life for all of our students. To help maintain their current levels in reading and math, we recommend that your child practices reading and math skills as often as possible… in FUN ways. Click here for Reading & Writing ideas. Click here for Math ideas.

First Day Back at School
All students will return to school on Monday 5 August. Kindergarten to Grade 5 students have visited their new classrooms during this week’s Step Up Day. An updated version of our school map for 2019 – 2020 is included below.
Timetable Update
After receiving some welcomed and constructive feedback from parents and teachers, it has been decided that Primary students will have morning recess at 9:45am next year, not 10:30am as originally planned.
Primary Supply List
A Primary Supply List was shared with all students who attended the Step Up Day on Tuesday. Click here to access the list. As so many students want to get new stationery and supplies for the new school year, we have published this list. While we would like all students to bring the items on this list, any not doing so will still have access to all of the stationery and other materials they need which will be supplied by the school.
