While we have three scheduled conferences in the school year, please remember you can always visit your child’s class blog to follow along on their learning journey or contact the teacher with any questions.

Laptop Free Lunches Student Council initiates a ‘Laptop free Lunches’ programme. In response to a perceived need to get students off their laptops (and phones) and talking to each other more, the Student Council is starting Laptop Free Lunches on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students will still be able to continue school work but only in the Library. Any student found to be ignoring the programme will have the offending device confiscated. A parent note is required for the device to be returned. Well done to Student Council for trying to encourage greater balance in a students life. If after two weeks this is proving successful we will expand this programme to Digital Free Days.
