🎤✨ Year 7 Poetry in Action! ✨🎤
Our Year 7 students were treated to an unforgettable poetry performance by award-winning children’s author and slam poet, Joel McKerrow!
He captivated the room with his powerful words, inspiring students to embrace creativity and self-expression through writing. 💭📝
Our young poets even gave slam poetry a go themselves – and they were amazing! 🙌
A big thank you to Joel for sharing his passion and energy with us!

We’re pleased to inform you that the operation of School Bus 490 has been updated to better support families in our community.
Effective immediately, the Hail ‘n’ Ride service will now extend along the entire length of Frisby Road. This change aims to improve access for students living in the newer housing developments north of Fradd Road.
Additionally, a reduced speed limit has been introduced along Frisby Road. As a result, students are now permitted to hail the 490 bus from any sensible and safe location along Frisby Road.
We hope this change makes travel to and from school more convenient for our students and families. If you have any questions or need further information, please don’t hesitate to contact the school.

🚧 Temporary Parking Changes This Week 🚍
With Primary Swimming in full swing, we’ll be allocating a small section of roadside parking each afternoon to make room for two buses.
This helps everything run more smoothly at pick-up and, most importantly, keeps our students safe as they get off the bus.
Thanks for your patience and support as we help keep traffic flowing and our students safe! 💙
