Similarly, if you are aware of any students moving into our area who will be attending our school in 2019 please ask the families to make contact with the school. Day for Daniel Day for Daniel is an opportunity for Australians to make a statement that crimes against children are not acceptable in Australia. This Friday 26th October marks the 14th Day for Daniel and all students are encouraged to wear a red shirt to support the cause. All students will be engaging in child safety awareness lessons throughout the day. We Want Your Feedback! As a school, we are committed to a process of continuous improvement. Our vision is for excellence and equity in education, and each year we carefully reflect on our programs to see where we can improve. Teaching and learning is our core business and our School Plan guides our improvement journey.
