Schools are encouraged to take part in the Stewart House Envelope Raffle, an annual fundraising event which continues to support this opportunity for students.

staffing
Some parents have expressed concerns about the number of casual staff during Term 1. We aim to have as little disruption as possible to the teaching and learning programs, however, staff at times are dealing with illness, family commitments and attendance at necessary professional learning. In respecting the privacy of the staff, details of absences are not disclosed. Casual teachers have been following class programs to ensure the continuity of learning is maintained. We hope that Term 2 is more settled with staff and families well and Miss Thuys continuing in the vacant position.
