Our Community

Parent commitment and involvement is integral to achieving successful outcomes for our students. Our school prides itself on welcoming and encouraging strong community engagement and participation through classroom helpers, working bees, excursions and camps.

We encourage parents to become involved in their child’s learning. The school enthusiastically supports our local community through our annual “Clean Up Australia Day” campaign, ANZAC Day Ceremony, Schools Tree Planting Day at our local Wallace Reserve, and the provision of our Frankston Rotary Junior Community Award Project.

An outstanding and supportive parent community take an active role in the co-curricular life of the school. Our team of highly experienced and dedicated teaching staff are actively supported by School Council.

Our school community has a special feel that is unique and highly valued by all.

OSHC

Before and After School Care is a service highly regarded by our school community, run by Camp Australia everyday, before school and after school.

Your child will be cared for by accredited staff who tailor the program around student interests, offering a range of outdoor activities, arts, crafts, games and ‘hands on learning’. Children are provided with a nutritious breakfast and afternoon snack, catering for food intolerances and allergies. While enjoying the relaxed environment and being well supervised, your child will also make new friends through the program.

Daily Hours of operation are: 6.30-8.45am – 3.30-6.30pm. Bookings, both casual and permanent, are arranged through the Camp Australia Administration.

Stir Crazy Kids run our school canteen

The school boasts a full size industrial kitchen, with multiple ovens, hot plates and bench space.

Whilst being a wonderful area to cook with the students and enable science experiments to be completed, our school also runs a canteen on 3 days each week.

Our canteen is managed by Stir Crazy Kids who offer a range of healthy meal and snack options, all prepared fresh onsite. Our students love the menu choices, catering for Summer and Winter meal choices.

The ease of ordering via the Stir Crazy Kids app/online system or paper bags over the counter, ensures all children can enjoy a special lunch order each week at school.
