New Finance System

Our finance system is now up and running. All debtors/Fee Payers are now able to view their balances or payments online.   All excursions can now be paid while approving your child's attendance for the excursion.

Leanne is learning the new system.  We ask that all parents be patient with implementing this system over the next few weeks and we are looking forward to moving ahead with Technology One.

Change to Volunteering at School


The procedure for volunteering at schools in the Diocese is changing. All volunteers are required to have a National Police Check (NPC) registered and full clearance to be approved by the Catholic Schools Office.

In the latest Volunteer Induction Handbook (version 1.6), there is a Statutory Screening Selection Tool for Volunteers in Schools.

Each volunteer is required to complete this form which will determine if a Working with Children’s Check is required (now only required for overnight camps if you are a close relative).

The instructions regarding identification and obtaining the NPC have also changed and this is also included in the handbook. The handbook is available from Admin office.

If you need to complete this booklet you would have had a phonecall this week from the office.  If you are unsure please contact Leanne and she can let you know. Any volunteer that has already completed the NPC last year will not need to complete the process again, how-ever everyone else will need to resubmit their handbook and receive clearance.

Kindergarten Enrolments 2022

Our Kindergarten enrolments close at the end of May.  If you are a sibling of the school or know anyone that has a child starting Kindergarten next year please contact the office for an enrolment pack.  Our Interview process will start in June 2021.
