Welcome to Week 10!
In Term 3, students have been participating in quality learning and engaging, fun and focused classrooms.
Thank you to all teachers for a great term of learning.
Thank you to all our community who supported our 2025 Culture Day. The food from different cultures was delicious and generously supplied. The staff, students and our culture day activities support staff enjoyed the food immensely.
Thank you to Mrs Henderson and Miss Menzies for preparing students for the Eisteddfod successes and work with our students.
This term was busy and exiting.
On behalf of the 3-4 students and Miss Blackman I would like to thank Leah Scoble (Project Officer) for Conservation Volunteers Australia. The Year 3-4 class thoroughly enjoyed the totally free excursion to Cape Hillsborough on the 11th of September.
Aus Kick has visited the school and had 12 Students participate in the $55 learn to play clinic.
The puppet shows for Prep to year 2 were a wonderful success.
Please make note of a friendly reminder about storing mobile phones in the office. All students must deliver their phone to the office.
Please also ensure your child has a HAT for play. We are a Sun Safe School and summer is approaching fast.
Thank you to all students who wear their helmets to school. Please remind your child to ride slowly on the footpaths, wear their helmet and to travel home safely at the end of each school day.
