Parents and Carers on Site Again

It has been a joy to welcome back families and volunteers onto our school grounds. We have very much missed your presence. When you go into a classroom or front office we ask that you QR Code and wear a mask. Thank you.

Japanese Day and Colour Fun Run

On Friday 12 November we are celebrating Japanese Day in the morning, with parents invited to attend from 11:00am. Please join your child for lunch. At 2:00pm we are holding the major fundraiser for the year, the Colour Fun Run. We encourage children to wear a white Tshirt. I have been informed that the colours do wash out, however do not send your child’s favourite Tshirt. I have never been to a Colour Fun Run in all my years as a principal and am very much looking forward to both Japanese Day and the Colour Fun Run. I have purchased a very inexpensive white Tshirt…just in case!! The money raised by the Colour Fun Run will go towards a shade structure over the new playground. Please could you support your child and the school in fundraising for the shade. This would be very much appreciated.

Asbestos Removal

A reminder that no one can be on site on this Friday 5 November, Saturday 6 November or Sunday 7 November while the asbestos removal is occurring. We are all so pleased that this finally occurring. Without any unforeseen and uncontrollable events arising, the installation process for the new playground will commence in the week of 29 November. Exciting times.

New Receptions

We had 41 new receptions begin their transition program this week. They were keen to visit their new school. They will have 3 visits to school. We will be holding parent meetings over the next two transition visits.

Next week is our School Fun Run Crazy Colour Day! The event will kick off 2pm at the oval. We look forward to seeing students get involved.

We’d love to see you down there on the day cheering the kids on… Everyone’s invited!

Please remember to keep collecting donations, so we will be able to build a shelter over the new playground.

Don’t forget to sign up for a Student Profile Page at schoolfunrun.com.au. You’ll be able to access online fundraising and can win a $20,000 Ultimate Family Package!

Students who raise $10 or more will receive a reward, and the more money you raise the better the reward, and the more you help the school!

Thanks for supporting the school and we hope to see you Friday 12 November!

This semester the Year 6/7’s in 2.1 and 2.2 have been learning about entrepreneurship through their Economics and Business lessons. Students have created their own unique business and products to be launched at Market Day on the Wednesday, 10th November. Students will be selling their products for between 10c - $7.00.

Student products include fidget toys, artwork, bracelets, candles, keyrings and scrunchies. All students will have the opportunity to visit the Markets during class time.
