To reduce interruptions to classes, we do not use the PA system during class time - it is used only during break times-lunch, snack, before and after school. If you require your child to be excused from class, please have your child bring a signed note to school to present to their teacher so they may be excused from class. Thank you for your assistance in reducing class room interruptions.

Esports Team Our E-Sports team have been sacrificing their lunch times for some vigorous training in preparation for the interschool eSports competition that will be held early next term.

TAFE Presentation On Thursday our Year 8 Felltimber students were lucky to have Kelly and Trina from Wodonga TAFE talk about future pathways and some courses that they offered. The students got the opportunity to participate in a Q&A which is always very informative.
