More information will be sent home closer to the date. Please note black shoes are part of the sports uniform. If you are purchasing new joggers please ensure they are black. Thank you.

It would be appreciated if parents and caregivers could arrange for school fees to be paid to the Office as soon as possible. Thank you.
