Some of our latest news
We look forward to welcoming our students back to school on Thursday 29th January. Our staff are busy today and tomorrow preparing for a positive year ahead.
We know the past few weeks have been challenging for our community, and returning to familiar routines and reconnecting with friends will be beneficial for our students.
A few reminders:
• School starts at 8:50am. Students may arrive from 8:30am (unless attending before school care).
• Please ensure your child brings a packed lunch box and drink bottle each day.
• Students should attend in school uniform. Please let us know if you need support with uniform items.
• For younger students, please pack a change of clothes if you think they may be needed.
Optional items:
• Personal sunscreen, if your child requires a specific type.
• Personal headphones for students in Grades 2–6, if they have a preferred pair.
Please ensure the school has the most up-to-date medical history, management plans and any required medications for your child.
Please let us know if there have been any important changes over the holidays that may affect your child at school. All information is treated confidentially, and we will always do our best to support your child.
We’re looking forward to a great start to the year!

‼️ Community Announcement ‼️
The Department of Education has closed the Buxton Primary School site until the weekend so our Vacation Care Program will reopen on Monday 19th January.
We understand that the closure of the program will inconvenience families who need to be back at work; however, we agree that this is the safest course of action. Buxton is no longer under a Watch and Act order, but there are active warnings in place for Taggerty, Eildon, Alexandra and surrounds. Road closures are still in place and these could change at any time. We don’t want to risk students and staff being closed off from family members should the situation change suddenly.
If you need care, there may be other school families who might be able to help. I recommend reaching out to each other to see who can help.
Apologies for the inconvenience and we look forward to seeing you all soon!
