Regular attendance leads to enhanced achievement and learning progress. Let’s ensure all students attend school to reap the rewards of consistent participation and engagement. Unless your child is ill, it is expected that your child will be at school learning every day of the school year.

Parents – Please be respectful and follow the Stop, Drop and Go process when dropping off and picking up your children. Please drop off and collect your children at the gate. To avoid physical distancing issues in the School Administration area, please phone or email instead. Please do not gather in areas around the school such as carparks, at the school gate, around buildings or outside classrooms. In addition, please refrain from entering school buildings and classrooms. If your child is unwell, it is essential that you keep them at home. In accordance with Queensland Health Directions, parents or carers of any child showing signs of illness will be asked to collect them immediately from the school.

School Parade – only for students, staff and invited parents. Physical distancing is still required for all adults.
