Please keep informed of your child's progress via VSWare and our detailed 10-20-30 week reporting. Please feel free to contact the office to organise a callback if you wish to speak with a teacher about your child.
In consultation with students and staff, last year we moved to a 1 hour timetable to maintain the reduced movement in the school, but to have a more agreeable class length. This has resulted in the school day being reduced to 6 x 1 hr class periods a day, and 4 x 1hr on a Friday.
Please note, the staggered 30 minute lunchbreak for the 2021-2022 and school finishing at 3:45 pm has now changed. We have returned to standard breaks, but lunch is now 35 minutes long, so the school day finishes at 3:50 Monday to Thursday and 1:15 on Fridays.
