Email from school
We believe that some email providers will filter our emails to your junk mail folder. For this reason, some replies that we may have sent to enquiries submitted online may not appear in your inbox. This is because the suffix in our email address is unknown to many email providers. Please check your junk folder if you are yet to receive a response in your inbox.
