Changed Traffic Conditions in Eurobin Avenue

Please note traffic changes in Eurobin Avenue on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 June. A crane will be in use in Eurobin Avenue towards Collingwood Street. The traffic will be limited to one lane and traffic control will be in place. We suggest parents use the Kiss and Drop Zone in Iluka Avenue, using Pittwater Road as the entry point to our Main Campus to avoid delays and for the safe drop-off for students.

Make-up Photo Day - Tuesday 18 June

A reminder that sibling photos and photos of students who were absent on our original photo day (5 June) will be taken on Tuesday 18 June. Students will be emailed details regarding time and location.

Breakfast Club at Stella

Did you know that Stella has its very own Breakfast Club? Hosted by our Wellbeing Prefects, all students are welcome to attend on Wednesday mornings from 7.30am - 8.30am in the Hospitality kitchen. Cereal, toast, yoghurt, fruit and hot chocolate is shared over board games, card games and bingo (we try to prevent Ms Burke from making up her own rules). It is a fun atmosphere where students can have breakfast, hang out with friends and meet new people.

Archi-Paws Competition Closes Soon

Entries in the Archi- Paws competition close on Friday. Entries can be handed in or emailed to Ms Silburn.

Nationally Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD)

Each year, all schools across Australia take part in the collection of data of students who require extra support or who have a disability or medical issue. The fact sheet below will give you information about this. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about this.
