COVID-19 news

We have received RATs for distribution to families. There are enough RATs for families to have 20 for each child enrolled at the school. RATs can be collected from the school office between 8.15am - 9.00am and 2.45pm - 3.30pm. Unfortunately, we are not able to send these tests home with children.

P&C Association

I would like to thank the P&C Association for their generous donations to the school in the past few months. Because of your support of the P&C, they have been able to purchase the interschool athletics shirts, donate over $3700 for playground equipment to be in used in new Kindy playground, plus an additional $5000 for the playground equipment and subsidised the Year 6 camp for Joondalup Schools. We are very grateful for this donation. It makes a difference for the students and staff.

If you took part in the P&C Chocolate Fundraiser, you have played your part in replenishing the budget for the next purchases. If you missed out on buying chocolates, there will be more opportunities coming soon.
