Harvey Lovering

It is with deepest sadness that I inform you all that at 2.53am on Saturday morning our precious Harvey lost his hard fought battle.

Harvey, known through Cassie’s blog as “Harvey the Cure-ageous Lion” fought so valiantly for so long. In his too short life he touched the lives and hearts of so many and was an inspiration to those who knew him, and many who had never met him, but followed his story through Facebook and Cassie’s blog.

Outside School Hours Care

The St Columba's School Board is proactive and supportive of the School's vision to provide a sound Catholic Education for students within the School. This is shown in Board's continued support of initiatives such as the transition to double-stream, the very successful pre-kindergarten three year old program and current building expansions. Growing community demand has also led the Board to investigate the viability of an 'Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) program.

Limited Parking

Dear Parents

I take this opportunity to advise you all that we have a 'parking' situation at the moment. With the construction of the new parking bays along Milne and Almondbury Streets, a number of parking areas are now unavailable.

If you're able to use the 'Kiss 'n' Drive' or walk you children to school, it would very much appreciated.

I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience.

Thank you,
