Late arrivals and Early departures
As part of our duty of care it is essential that we have an accurate record of where your child is at all times. Therefore, for partial day absences such as late arrivals, early departures or leave/return to school on the same day all children need to be accompanied by their parent/carer to/from the Administration office where they will be entered into our roll system. If your child arrives at school after the 9:10 am bell this is considered a ’Partial Absence”.
Please also be aware that if you arrive to collect your child during the lunch break, we may be unable to locate your child quickly on the playground.  As such please arrive before 1pm or after 2pm for early pickup of students.

Cashless is getting a new name

In two weeks, Cashless Canteens will be renamed “Spriggy Schools”. Cashless was originally created by the same team that built Spriggy, Australia’s most loved pocket money app and card, and now it’s time to bring the two under the same roof. Spriggy has over 500,000 members and is a reliable Aussie brand that families know and trust.

On Monday 24th May, your app will simply update to the new Spriggy Schools name, in the same spot on your phone. You will need to log in again after the change is made, but the terms and conditions will remain exactly the same.

With a new name, comes a new website

From Monday 24th May, every page on cashless.school will redirect to a corresponding page on the new website. You won’t need to do anything except be aware of the changes.
