The School Office

The school office is your first point of contact for questions or concerns, or to complete any administration, including online forms. If you urgently need to communicate a change of plans to your child, please call the school office.
Hours: Mon-Fri (during term) 8:30 am - 3:30 pm
Phone: 9477 3627.
Email: mtcolah-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au

If you are entering the school grounds for any reason during school hours, you must present and sign in at the school office first. 

School Communication - School Bytes

Please notify the school office if your personal circumstances or contact details change. All communication from the school is sent through school bytes. We recommend both parents/carers download the school bytes app. The app will be available to download once your child is enrolled. This is how the school communicates all school news, events, notifications, and if there is a school emergency. Permissions for excursions and all finance communication will also be via school bytes. The app also allows you to send student absentee forms electronically.

Once school has commenced class teachers will communicate with you via the class messaging platform ‘ClassDojo’. You will receive further details at the start of the Kindergarten school year.

What to pack in your child's school bag

Please pack a school hat, crunch and sip, recess and lunch, and a drink bottle. Please make sure all items are clearly labelled with the student name (including the school bag). Please also include a spare set of underwear and socks (in the case of a toileting accident), and a raincoat for wet weather.

At the start of the Kindergarten school year children will also need a paint smock and headphones (with cord and 'Jack plug' connection, no bluetooth). Class teachers will notify you when it is time to send these to school.
