About Burleigh Heads State School
Burleigh Heads State School is a historic public primary school located on the Lower Gold Coast Highway in Burleigh Heads, Queensland (schoolsdirectory.eq.edu.au ). It is coeducational and serves children from Prep through Year 6, with current enrolments around 500 students (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ). Founded in 1917 (originally as “Burleigh School” and later renamed Burleigh Heads State School in 1927), it has been a community landmark for over a century (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ). The present campus – built during the Great Depression – opened on 30 August 1935 to accommodate 120 pupils (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ). Even today the grounds reflect that era: broad entrances flanked by stone rockeries (built by relief workers) and traditional highset school buildings are notable features (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ).
Over the decades the school has expanded into a large, multi-wing campus. Major additions include a new A-wing extension in the late 1940s and further blocks through the 1950s-1970s – for example, “B Wing” (completed in 1957) and “C Wing” (1959) (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ). A purpose-built preschool was added in 1974 and a library by 1977 (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ). Today the layout includes multiple teaching wings (A–E), a large administration building, library, and a multi-purpose hall. The school’s motto and traditions also highlight its local heritage – the Latin motto “Labore et Honore” (“Work with honour”) is proudly displayed, and the school colours (maroon and white uniforms; sporting colours red and white) date back decades (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ). A quirky piece of school lore: in 1982 students adopted the local “Burleigh Heads Bunyip” (a mythical swamp creature) as the school mascot, reflecting a blend of folklore and school spirit (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ).
What makes Burleigh Heads State School special is its deep community roots. Generations of Burleigh Heads families have attended BHSS, and the school centre is woven into local life. The campus itself maintains heritage charm (with landscaped rockeries and stands of mature pine trees planted by early students) and a friendly “small-town” atmosphere. Local clubs and businesses support the school – for example, the Burleigh Heads RSL Club (“Club Burleigh”) regularly raises funds for BHSS causes like repairing the special-education bus (clubb.com.au ). The parents-and-citizens (P&C) association is active too, organizing events and fundraising to enhance facilities (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ). In short, BHSS is more than a campus: it’s a century-old community institution, known for its caring school spirit (modeled in its school song written for the 75th anniversary) and its unique traditions (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ) (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ).
Events and Programming
Burleigh Heads State School’s primary purpose is education, so its core “programming” consists of the school calendar — daily classes, assemblies, and annual school-wide traditions. That includes sports carnivals (cross-country, athletics, and the Lightning Sports day for older students), year-level camps (e.g. Year 6 camp), and special ceremonies (such as ANZAC Day commemorations). A 2015 school newsletter lists “some BIG events” in Term 2: an ANZAC Day march, NAPLAN assessments, school cross-country and Lighting Carnival for Years 5–6, a Year 6 camp, and the annual athletics carnival (abcdocz.com ). Many of these involve the wider community – for instance, BHSS students traditionally march in the Burleigh Heads ANZAC Day parade, wearing uniforms and bringing their school choir to perform (abcdocz.com ).
In addition to these routine school programs, BHSS hosts a few community-oriented events on its grounds. The most famous is The Village Markets : a handmade arts and crafts market that takes over the school oval on the first and third Sunday of each month. (The market is a separate organization but uses the BHSS site by arrangement.) These markets run 8:30am–1pm and feature dozens of creative stalls (clothing, art, food, etc.), live music and family-friendly activities (www.burleightobyronkids.com ). They draw large local crowds and have become a Burleigh Heads attraction in their own right. The school campus is also sometimes used for outdoor community events – for example, a “Movies Under the Stars” film night was held at BHSS in March 2020 (featuring The Lego Movie 2) as part of the City of Gold Coast’s free family movie series (www.burleightobyronkids.com ).
Within the school year, there are also special events like concerts, plays and assemblies. The annual Christmas concert (often put on by student performers and the P&C) is a highlight – people report holiday shows by local artists being staged in the school hall or on temporary outdoor stages. Other events include open days (especially before the Prep year) and school fairs or fundraisers. Most typical school events (music concerts, speech nights, science expos, etc.) are internal to BHSS families, but the community is often invited. In short, BHSS is a lively place: aside from everyday classes, expect seasonal festival days, concerts involving student performers, sports days out on the oval, and community gathering events like the Village Market (abcdocz.com ) (www.burleightobyronkids.com ).
Tickets and Booking
Since Burleigh Heads State School is not a commercial concert hall, most events don’t require pre-purchased tickets. School ceremonies, sports days, and open classrooms are generally free and open to parents and families. For community events held on the grounds (like the Village Market or holiday movie nights), entry is free for the public (www.burleightobyronkids.com ) (www.burleightobyronkids.com ). When there is a ticketed event (for example, a P&C-organized concert or fundraising show), the school will announce how to get tickets. In practice, tickets (if any) are handled through the school rather than a public box office – often sold via the school office, P&C meeting, or online communication. Parents should watch the BHSS newsletter, Facebook page or contact the office for details. As an example, a 2025 online event listing for the school’s Christmas concert advised viewers to “Notify me” for ticket info (allevents.in ), indicating that attendees needed to keep informed through the school channel. Generally, any small ticket fee is a fundraiser for the school community. In summary, don’t expect a Ticketek booth here – rather, check the school’s official communications for any paid events or simply turn up to free functions like markets or assemblies.
Seating and Layout
The Burleigh Heads State School campus consists of multiple classroom blocks, playgrounds and assembly areas. Key buildings include the administration office (main entrance on Lower Gold Coast Hwy), the library, and several teaching wings (A, B, C, etc.) built over the decades (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ). A large multipurpose hall (sometimes called the assembly hall) serves as the indoor gathering space for concerts, special assemblies and performances. During events, this hall is set up with portable chairs and a small stage area. There are no fixed theatre-style seats; seating is arranged as needed, so for performances the “best” spots are usually front-row center or along the middle aisles. The hall has basic overhead lighting and PA sound, suitable for school plays and concerts (though it’s not a professional theatre). Acoustic-wise, it tends to be echoey like typical school halls, so sitting closer to the stage helps with audibility.
Outdoor events generally use the oval and nearby covered play areas. For example, the Village Market and outdoor movie nights are held on the grass field, often with temporary staging. Seating for these is casual – people bring folding chairs or picnic rugs. Under the shelters by the sports oval there are also concrete terraces and benches. For watching sports carnivals or races, the bleacher stands on the oval (behind the finish line) offer a good view. If the sun is an issue, the western edge of the oval has large pine trees and battery-swanned trees providing shade. In short, whether inside or out, visitors have a choice: indoors, the hall’s front-and-center seats; outdoors, picking a shady spot on the grass or using any available seating along the sideline.
Getting There and Parking
Location: The school is on the Lower Gold Coast Highway (a.k.a. State Route 2) in Burleigh Heads. The official address is Lower Gold Coast Highway, Burleigh Heads QLD 4220 (schoolsdirectory.eq.edu.au ) (you may also see 1750 Gold Coast Highway on GPS). It’s about a 10–15 minute walk from Burleigh Heads town center (along West Burleigh Road or Park Avenue).
Driving and Parking: There is limited on-site parking for staff and disabled visitors around the office area. Drop-off and pick-up zones are marked near the front gate. General visitors usually park on nearby streets (the Wolverine, The Esplanade, Park Avenue, etc.) – be sure to obey all posted signs. Note that this is a busy school zone during term: Gold Coast authorities strictly enforce the 40 km/h speed limit and parking rules. In fact, the school’s newsletter reminds parents that police frequently patrol local streets and issue fines for double-parking, illegal U-turns in front of the school, parking on footpaths, etc. (abcdocz.com ). (Tip: arrive 10–15 minutes early on event days to find a good spot.) There are also some paid parking lots within a few minutes’ walk (for instance at the Village Markets site or nearby commercial centers) if street parking is full.
Public Transport: BHSS is served by TransLink buses. The pickup point is “Burleigh Heads Primary School” (stop 300176) on Gold Coast Hwy – just a short walk from the school gate. Two main routes use this stop: Route 700 (between Broadbeach South Station and Tweed Heads via Palm Beach) and Route 765 (from Robina Town Centre through Varsity Lakes, Burleigh Heads up to The Pines) (jp.translink.com.au ). Buses run roughly every 15–30 minutes in daytime. (Note: there is no train or tram in Burleigh Heads; the nearest light rail is Broadbeach South Station, several kilometers north.)
Rideshare and Drop-off: Taxi or rideshare (Uber/DiDi) can drop passengers off on Lower Gold Coast Hwy right in front of the school. The main entry is along the highway – be careful with loading/unloading in traffic. After dark, bus service is limited, so a late-night rideshare or taxi may be needed (or a short walk back to the main busier streets near James Street).
Inside the Venue
Burleigh Heads State School is a working school, so arriving visitors should follow typical school protocols. During school hours, all visitors must sign in at the office and wear a visitor’s badge (this is Queensland Government policy). If you’re attending a public event (like a market or open day), extra entry staff or P&C volunteers will usually greet you. In any case, be prepared to present photo ID and explain the purpose of your visit. Security at events is minimal – mostly volunteer marshals – but for private school functions you may pass a backpack check at the door (especially if kids are attending).
Facilities and Atmosphere: Inside the hall and buildings, the vibe is relaxed and family-friendly. The hall entry often has tables for check-in or selling event tickets/donations. Expect school decorations or children’s artwork on the walls. The volume level is generally normal (speeches or music via microphone, background chatter). During large gatherings in the hall or on the oval, the noise level rises to excited chatter.
Restrooms: Restrooms (toilets) are available on site. According to published site info, the school has restrooms for public use (www.waze.com ) – in practice these are school restrooms near the hall and admin. There should be separate boys/girls toilets plus at least one unisex/ambulant toilet (as required by building codes).
Food & Drink: The school has a student canteen (nicknamed The Burleigh Bite ) which operates on most weekdays for students only (see the next section for details). However, for events open to families or the public, food and drink concessions may be set up. For example, at markets or outdoor fairs you might find coffee carts, sausage sizzles or ice-cream vans (often run by the P&C or community groups). At indoor concerts, light refreshments (drinks, snacks) might be sold at a lobby table. You are usually allowed to bring your own water bottle and small snacks, especially for outdoor events or picnics on the grass. Of course, no alcohol is allowed on school grounds at any time, and smoking is completely banned.
Connectivity: As a school, free public Wi-Fi is not provided for visitors. Mobile phone reception on most carriers is generally good on the Gold Coast, so you can use your own data if needed. Charging facilities won’t be provided, so bring a phone charger if you need it (but note that power outlets may not be available or convenient outside buildings).
Merchandise and Services: There is no permanent gift shop or merchandise stand. If any event (like sports day or market) includes a small stall for the school or P&C, they may sell branded T-shirts, badges or school uniforms. Otherwise, you can’t buy official items on site (uniform shop orders are handled separately through the school office). A lost-and-found or coat-check is not provided; bring only what you want to carry or a small secure bag. Generally, treat BHSS like any school: tidy up after yourself, use bins provided, and follow staff directions about where visitors are allowed to go.
Nearby Amenities
Restaurants and Cafés: Burleigh Heads offers plenty of dining options within a short distance of the school. On James Street (downtown Burleigh, about 500m north of the school) you’ll find cafes like Elk Espresso, Gerry’s Gelato or Bistro on James, and restaurants such as The Tropic or Rick Shores (for beachfront dining). For a quick bite, there’s a takeaway café opposite the Village Markets entry. In West Burleigh (just beyond the QSM Shopping Centre to the south) are family-friendly pubs and eateries (e.g. Burleigh Brewing Co. brewpub). Most cafés are open by early morning, so you can grab breakfast or coffee before events.
Bars and Nightlife: Burleigh Heads has a relaxed evening scene. The Burleigh Surf and Racquet Club (a local RSL club near the beach) is popular for drinks and views, and it often highlights school-friendly events. James Street also has several bars (like 5 Boroughs or The Rustic Olive) if you’re planning a casual dinner. Since BHSS is in a mostly residential area, nightlife isn’t right next door – for late-evening activities, you’ll typically head into Burleigh village or up to Surfers Paradise, depending on your vibe.
Hotels and Accommodation: If you’re visiting from out of town, there are hotels and apartments within a few kilometers. Burleigh Heads Beachfront (modern apartments) or the Mantra properties on the Highway offer convenient stays. For a more budget-friendly stay, look at Airbnbs or motels in Burleigh Village. All are within a 5–10 minute drive of the school.
Arrival Timing: It’s wise to arrive early for big events or those held during peak times. If attending a morning or lunchtime function, parking along streets near the school fills up quickly, so aim 15 minutes ahead of the scheduled start. Additionally, if your event or visit coincides with school start/end times (8:30am or 3pm), expect some extra traffic around the grounds. For evening events, keep in mind that local buses run less frequently after dark – plan a taxi or rideshare in advance if needed.
What Makes This Venue Special
Burleigh Heads State School is special primarily for its century-long connection to the local community. Generations of heads have their first school memories here, and the campus reflects that heritage. The Depression-era main building and its flanking rockeries (still well-maintained) are heritage features that older schools seldom preserve (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ). The school’s pride in its history shows in its motto, its buildings, and even its iconic buntings and memorabilia. The school song (penned for the 75th anniversary) and the legendary “Bunyip” mascot are unique cultural touches you won’t find at a younger campus.
Beyond the bricks and mortar, BHSS is beloved for its community spirit. Local parents and clubs work closely with the school. The P&C’s mission statement emphasizes cooperation with teachers, parents and the wider community to improve the school environment (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ). This is more than words: nearby community groups actively support BHSS. For example, the Burleigh Heads RSL Club holds Wednesday night raffles that have raised money to repair the special education bus (clubb.com.au ). Such partnerships highlight how integrated the school is with its neighborhood.
Famous performances aren’t a routine here (it’s not a concert hall), but the annual school productions are a fun local tradition. Students often put on stage shows or concerts, which families attend enthusiastically. Local cultural events sometimes use the school too – as mentioned, the city’s outdoor movie series has screened films on the school grounds (bringing a real “let’s all meet at the local school” feeling). Even sporting achievements tie back to school pride: BHSS athletics champions often go on to represent the town at regional events. In short, both artists and audiences love BHSS for its friendly, down-to-earth vibe – it’s just as much a community hall as it is a school. Visitors often remark on the warm, multigenerational atmosphere (you might see grandparents helping at a fete or old alumni cheering on a sports day).
Visitor Tips and Information
Accessibility: The school complies with accessibility standards. There are ramps and handrails at main entrances (especially at the office entry). An accessible toilet is usually provided in the school office or hall foyer. If you have specific needs, it’s best to notify the school before you come or ask at the office when you arrive.
What to Bring: For outdoor events or assemblies, bring sun protection and a water bottle. In Queensland, hats are a must for kids (and appreciated for adults) at any sunny outdoor gathering. A small folding chair or blanket can be nice for the grassy oval events, though many will provide basic seating. If you plan to buy from the tuckshop or food stalls, carrying some cash (small notes, coins) is wise – card readers might be limited. Also, bring your own hand sanitizer or wipes; while soap and paper towels are available in bathrooms, personal hygiene items help on busy event days.
What *Not* to Bring: Burleigh Heads State School has typical school rules. No pets are allowed on school grounds (even leashed animals), and of course no alcohol or illicit substances. Large bags or backpacks may be asked to be searched or even checked in during events. Drones and flying devices are usually banned over school property. Standard disclaimers apply: don’t climb on fences, and supervise children at all times (especially around playground equipment and gates).
Common Mistakes to Avoid: A frequent error is underestimating traffic. Arriving five minutes late can mean circling for a parking spot. Also, some expectair conditioning everywhere – but keep in mind old halls can be warm. It’s not the venue’s fault, but toilets get very busy during intermission or breaks. Try to avoid the line by going early or during a lull in the program.
Age Restrictions and Family-Friendliness: BHSS is extremely family-friendly. Kids of all ages are welcome at school functions (sports days, concerts, markets). There are no formal age limits, though of course infants must be under parent care. If attending a quieter event like a formal awards night, consider that it’s still a school sponsor – so excessive noise or disruptive behaviour may get asked politely to quiet down. Otherwise enjoy the casual, inclusive atmosphere: you’ll see toddlers dancing at the markets and grandparents at the stands alike.
Dress Code: There is no strict dress code for visitors – casual is fine. Smart-casual or neat casual often matches how parents arriving at events dress (for example, it’s common to see weekend casual clothes or a polo shirt at a sports event). Only for very formal school ceremonies might some guests opt for a collared shirt or dressy top, but in general comfort is key, given you may be outdoors or on your feet.
Insider Tip: If you’re coming for an outdoor event (like a picnic or movie night), pick a spot near the big pine trees on the western side of the oval – they provide good shade in late afternoon. For indoor shows in the hall, aim for seats towards the middle; the sound is best there. And if it’s your first time at BHSS, take a quick walk around the courtyard – you’ll see rocks inscribed by classes from decades ago. Lastly, say hi to Mrs. Thompson at the office (she’s a familiar friendly face who can tell you anything you need about the school!).
Where exactly is Burleigh Heads State School located?
Burleigh Heads State School is on the Lower Gold Coast Highway in Burleigh Heads (postcode 4220) (schoolsdirectory.eq.edu.au ). The main entrance is along this highway (State Route 2), a short distance south of Burleigh Village. For GPS use “Lower Gold Coast Hwy, Burleigh Heads” or code 4220. Public bus routes 700 and 765 stop nearby (at the Burleigh Heads Primary School stop) (jp.translink.com.au ).
What is the history of Burleigh Heads State School?
The school opened in 1917 (initially as “Burleigh School”) and was renamed Burleigh Heads State School in 1927 (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ). The current school site was built and officially opened in August 1935 to accommodate 120 pupils (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ). Since then it has expanded with new wings in the 1950s-70s, added a preschool (1974) and library (1977) (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ). Its long history is celebrated by school traditions (including a motto and school song) and its landmark rock gardens from the Depression era (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ) (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ).
What types of events take place at Burleigh Heads State School?
As an active school, BHSS holds all the usual school events: sports days (athletics carnivals, cross-country runs), school concerts and assemblies, Anzac Day marches and class performances. The annual calendar includes things like the Year 6 camp and athletics carnivals (abcdocz.com ). In addition, the grounds host community events: notably The Village Markets (a crafts market) on the first and third Sunday of each month (www.burleightobyronkids.com ), and occasional outdoor movie nights (for example, the City’s “Movies Under the Stars” was held at BHSS in 2020 (www.burleightobyronkids.com )). The school also runs fundraisers like the P&C Christmas concert and fetes. Most events are family-friendly.
Do I need to buy tickets for events at BHSS?
Most BHSS and community events are free or covered by donations. For example, entry to the Village Markets and city movie nights at the school is free (www.burleightobyronkids.com ) (www.burleightobyronkids.com ). If the school organizes a special paid event (like a concert), it will announce ticketing through its channels. Tickets (or RSVP instructions) would typically come via the school’s newsletter, website or P&C communications. Even when there is a nominal ticket price, the proceeds usually support school programs. In short, check the school’s official announcements for ticket info – there is no outside box office.
Which public buses serve Burleigh Heads State School?
TransLink buses stop near the school at the “Burleigh Heads Primary School” stop (Stop 300176) on the Gold Coast Hwy. The key routes are 700 (Broadbeach South–Burleigh Heads–Palm Beach–Tweed Heads) and 765 (Robina–Varsity Lakes–Burleigh Heads–The Pines) (jp.translink.com.au ). These buses run frequently during weekdays. Once you get off, it’s just a short walk along Gold Coast Hwy to the school entrance.
Is there parking available at the school, and are there any fees?
Street parking is available around the school (along Lower Gold Coast Hwy and adjoining streets). It is mostly free, but be mindful of school-zone restrictions. The school runs a busy drop-off/pick-up, so nearby parking can fill up on weekdays. Gold Coast police enforce the school zone rules: do not double-park or block driveways. (For example, a school newsletter reminded families that double parking and unsafe U-turns will be fined (abcdocz.com ).) If street parking is full, consider parking a block away (or at the Village Markets lot on Sundays) and walking back.
What are the best places to sit or watch events at BHSS?
It depends on the event. For indoor performances in the hall, front-and-center seats give the best view and sound. The hall uses portable chairs, so you may choose seats just before the show. During outdoor events (e.g. the Village Market or sports), pick a spot under shade or nearer the action – the field side near the stage or the covered terraces are good for civilised viewing. On sports days, the bleacher stands by the finish line are ideal. Note that school halls can be echoey, so sitting closer helps with hearing announcements or music. In all cases, arriving early secures a prime spot.
What are the camera/mobiling/behaviour rules at school events?
At BHSS events, photography and video are generally allowed (for example, parents often film their child in a concert or sports day). However, out of respect for privacy, avoid posting identifiable images of other children without permission. Behave courteously: stay off classroom corridors and out of restricted areas. Follow any specific instructions from staff or event marshals – for example, some indoor shows ask you to switch off flashes. As always, it’s a school environment: noise and behaviour should be appropriate (no shouting during performances, for instance). Large bags may be checked by security at big events, and no alcohol or smoking is permitted on grounds.
Are there food or drink facilities inside Burleigh Heads State School?
The school has a volunteer-run canteen called “The Burleigh Bite” that serves student lunches on school days (abcdocz.com ). For visitors, this isn’t a public café (it mainly serves kids). For events, you may find snack stalls or drink vendors set up (especially at markets or fundraisers). Otherwise, bring your own water or buy from local cafés nearby. During regular hours, parents and visitors can buy coffee and snacks from cafés within a block of the school (e.g. at the Village Markets or on James Street).
What is the “Burleigh Bite” mentioned at the school?
“The Burleigh Bite” is the affectionate name for the school’s tuckshop (canteen). It’s run by parent volunteers and sells everyday snacks and meals to students (abcdocz.com ). Parents of younger children often volunteer to work a shift there. The canteen is open during the school week but is not open to the public outside school hours.
Does Burleigh Heads State School have facilities for people with disabilities?
Yes. As a modern Queensland state school, BHSS meets accessibility standards. The main entrance and hall have ramps or at-grade access. The school site includes an accessible restroom (Waze’s facility info even lists “onsite restrooms” (www.waze.com )). If you have specific needs (e.g. wheelchair seating during an event), contact the school office ahead of time to arrange assistance or check-in.
Can I bring food or drinks into the school during an event?
Generally yes, especially for outdoor or casual events. Bring water bottles and small snacks as needed – the school is family-friendly and usually allows picnicking on the grass during day events. At formal indoor shows, bringing a quiet snack is fine, but please clean up after yourself. Note that food is not provided for visitors (unless it’s a catered event), so plan accordingly. No alcohol is allowed, and remember to respect any “no outside food” rule if a particular event or the hall management imposes one.
Is Burleigh Heads State School suitable for very young children and babies?
Yes, the school is very child-friendly. The playgrounds and lawns are great for little ones to run and play. For events like the markets or outdoor movies, you’ll see many toddlers and babies in strollers. Just be sure to supervise them around the playground equipment. (The school has a playground and “Prep-fenced” areas, but for public events children are not restricted to those – families can spread out on the lawns.) If your baby has nappies or feeding needs, the hall has a parents’ room and nearby restrooms to accommodate them.
What are the school’s hours and when can I visit?
The school office is typically open Monday–Friday from 8:30am to 3:00pm during term (www.waze.com ). You may visit during these hours to speak with staff or see the grounds (check in at reception first). Public events may occur outside those times (e.g. an evening concert or weekend market). Always verify event times ahead of your visit. Note: if there is no scheduled event, casual tours by individuals are uncommon – it’s best to come for a planned event or open day.
Does the school hold open days or tours for prospective families?
Yes. Burleigh Heads State School holds annual open days specifically for incoming Prep (new Prep year) families (burlheadss.eq.edu.au ). These typically happen mid-year (date announced by the school). During an open day, the campus is open to parents to meet teachers, tour classrooms and learn about enrolment. For other year levels or general questions, it’s best to contact the school to arrange an appointment.
Are there any costs for attending events at Burleigh Heads State School?
Most events at BHSS are free. For example, the Village Market and community movie night are free to enter (www.burleightobyronkids.com ) (www.burleightobyronkids.com ). The school itself does not charge admittance for parents attending sports days or assemblies. If there is a special fundraising event (like a gala or concert), the school will notify families of any ticket price or donation. Otherwise you can enjoy open days, fairs and markets without paying admission.
What are the contact rules if I have questions about BHSS?
For general inquiries, contact the school office directly during school hours (phone or email). The staff will answer questions about enrolment, events, etc. However, do not share personal contact info on public forums. As a guideline: for event or visitor questions, the school newsletter and website have updates. If you are on site and need assistance, the office/help desk (located by the main parking area) is the first stop.
