Communication / Newsletters
We endeavor to have worthwhile communication with students, parents and caregivers. Fortnightly newsletters are distributed, usually on Thursday, to each pupil for them to take home. They are also e-mailed to parents/caregivers. Through thesenewsletters, we hope to keep parents informed of vital information, current events at school and future happenings. In 2018, our newsletter will be easily accessed online through our website. We also have a Facebook page which is regularly updated. In 2016 our School App was launched as another great way for our parents and caregivers to stay in touch.
