Inspiring - Inclusive - Empowered
We acknowledge the Minjungbal people, of the Bundjalung Nation, who are the original custodians of the land on which the school proudly stands.

It is a 2-year program (Year 5 to 6). Parents cannot apply for Year 6 placement only. Selective high schools are for high potential and gifted students in Years 7 to 12.

P & C NEWS
SUMMER IN THE POCKET - is coming soon! While it IS a nice little fundraiser SITP has its roots in providing our community with a bit of (often much-needed) relaxation and downtime in the middle of the headlong rush into holidays and end-of-year. A massive Thank You to Camille and the team for working hard to make this a reality for us this year again in the middle of so much busy-ness. CALLOUT: The Cake team are seeking your help to supply cakes and tombola jars for the fundraiser part. If you can make a cake or jar please get your form into the office ASAP! And if you volunteered for a role - ensure you are all over what's needed by contacting Camille or Nikki. NEXT MEETING: Our next community meeting will be in week 3 of term 1. (Day and time TBA.) This will be our annual general meeting (AGM) and as noted in the recent minutes the executive committee will become vacant. This is a solid little support association that is ready to grow along with the school into the future and - in their current format - Winter festival, Summer in the pocket, canteen and any other fundraising activities all rely on a functioning P&C to go ahead. So if you have a skill - or wish to learn - in financials, administration, or leadership, and you enjoy working with others, consider nominating for a role. Executive roles consume about 8-10 hours a term and have all been overhauled for simplicity and ease of function.
