School Materials Fees
We have a very well-resourced school which is possible due to payment of fees and our hardworking parents fundraising. It is very much appreciated if families can pay student Material Fees charges by the end of first term. The fees may be paid in two instalments; one in term one and the second half in term three.
Fletcher, Regina and Tiffany recently competed at the Gippsland Swimming qualifiers. Tiffany qualified for the next level and is competing today. Congratulations to the three of them
Kind regards
