What apps does the school use for communication?
School Bytes is for general school communications, Seesaw is for classroom specific communication, Flexischools is for canteen and uniform shop ordering. Student codes are required for School Bytes and Seesaw. Please contact the school office to obtain your child’s code if you have not received one already.

I ordered a book pack online. When will my child receive it?
Book packs are distributed during the first week of school that your child is in their new class. Teachers will send home the books for contacting soon after they are distributed.
When will my child wear their sport uniform?
Each grade has two sessions of sport in a week: grade sport and class sport. Grade sport includes their full year group and class sport is just their class. Typically, grade sport and class sport happen on different days however they can occasionally be scheduled on the same day. Sport days will be advised by your teacher in their class outline for the term which gets distributed through School Bytes or Seesaw. Please note sport days may change from term to term.
How does my child get their lunch order from the canteen?
Each class has their own basket which gets packed with the lunch orders for that day. Students come in pairs to collect the baskets from the canteen. Food is distributed once they are back in class. Kindy students are supervised while they eat in their designated area.
