Welcome to Week 10!

I would like to invite all parents, community and carers to our Special Week 11 Parade. This will be held in the hall at 8:45 am. This is to celebrate the upcoming retirement of Mrs Janelle Alexander.

We will also be acknowledging the staff who are leaving our wonderful school. Our year 6 students will be involved in a small thank you presentation as well.

I would like to congratulate all of our students, who were so well behaved at the Awards Ceremony on Monday. It was a very special morning of celebration. Thank you to Mrs Reck, who worked tirelessly to organise this ceremony.

Book lists were handed out last Tuesday, at the orientation morning. They are also on our school web site and at four of the main news agencies.

I would like to thank the P and C for opening the uniform shop on the 24th January 2025. This will be to assist parents who are doing an early book drop off.

Report Cards will be handed out in Week 11. This is the last week of term four. The last day of the term is December 13th. School will be operating as normal for week 11. All students will be working with different classes to participate in various end of year learning activities.

Parents are kindly requested to notify the office about any extenuating circumstances, that may require early pick up of a report card. The school can prepare report cards for early pick up on Thursday December the 5th.
