  • Fete Sponsorship & Donations: We're actively seeking sponsors for this year's School Fete! Huge thanks to Bendigo Bank Blackburn South for becoming a Gold sponsor, and to the Keyhoe family and Swimco for their continued major sponsorship. Class hamper donation baskets will be placed in classrooms from Monday 15 June, with each class having a unique theme for the Silent Auction.
  • Run Club: Keep hitting the track each Monday morning! Over 130 students have completed almost 2,000 laps so far. Our goal is to have 200 students running or walking at least one lap by the end of Term 2. Every lap earns a House Point!
