Our school website has a new addition. In the top right corner of the page should be a Google Translator button. Use the pull-down list to select the language needed. It is interesting to see what it may be like for people who have a different language to read information in another language. Try this out for an insight into the experience.
We ask those folk with languages other than English to test this translator and give us feedback. We want to know how well it works in other languages. We suspect it is very dependent on the dictionaries used in different languages, and also differences in language use. Please feed this information back to us.
We will provide information to Education International so as to inform other International Student Program schools on how to achieve this function on their own sites. Please pass feedback to Kim Tvede on

In these tight and uncertain economic times, our school is mindful of the costs associated with educating children. The cost of providing books, clothing and other school resources begins to add up. Then there is the inevitable cost of educational excursions, school camps and various performances. This year we are reviewing very carefully the added activities and expenses and ensuring that they are absolutely essential for student learning. We are also trying to ensure that no child is disadvantaged by cost. Families who may find themselves temporarily in need of assistance due to economic circumstances are invited to contact the principal or the school business manager to discuss ways to ensure their child is able to participate in the planned activity and the school is still able to meet its financial obligations. You can arrange a confidential appointment simply by calling the school office or emailing

Student arrival at school |
|
|
|
|
Students should not arrive at school prior to 8.15am. On arrival student must report immediately to the seating area adjacent to the mall where they must remain seated until the 8.30 bell. Supervision of students is not provided until that time. Playgrounds and play equipment may not be used before 8.30am even with parental supervision. Similarly playground equipment is also unable to be used between 3.00 and 3.30pm. This is so all students can be appropriately monitored and their safety is ensured until school supervision begins or they leave the school to go home. |
