Principal's
report

We’re excited to announce that our new playground will be installed over the school holidays! Access to the school will be limited during this time due to construction, so please avoid the area until work is complete. We can’t wait for everyone to enjoy the new playground!

A reminder that hats are now compulsory for both recess and lunch. Please ensure students bring their hats every day to stay sun-safe during outdoor activities. Thank you for your cooperation!

The Spooky Disco was a huge success! The students were well-behaved and had a fantastic time. A big thank you to the Parents Club for organizing such a fun event.

A reminder that tomorrow is the last day of term, with a 2:30pm finish. Buses will run at the adjusted time. 

Term 4 begins on Monday, 7th October. We look forward to seeing everyone back refreshed and ready to learn.

Swimming lessons start in Week 2 of Term 4, so please ensure your child brings their swimming gear which includes bathers, towel, goggles (optional but recommended). A reminder to ensure all clothing is named. 

The Grade 3/4 camp is scheduled for Week 5 of Term 4—information has gone out on Compass to relevant families.

Attendance

A friendly reminder to please log any absences on the Compass App. Whilst we appreciate parents communicating absences with teachers or staff, we do still require parents to add an absence note on Compass.  We would like to thank parents for their continued efforts to ensure their children’s absences are kept to a minimum and have a valid reason such as illness, medical appointments or family holidays. 

Breakfast Club

Breakfast Club is on EVERY Tuesday morning from 8:40am. All children are welcome to come and have some breaky but we ask that children arrive before 8:45am if they are wishing to eat breakfast before the 9am start of the school day. 

Sun hats

A reminder that hats are now compulsory for both recess and lunch. Please ensure students bring their hats every day to stay sun-safe during outdoor activities. Thank you for your cooperation!
