From the Principal's Desk
Absences
Thank you to all families who have been clearly communicating times when their child is absent from school.
As a school, we are required to be able to account for all student absences including a reason for the absence. Could I please ask that families include the reason for their child's absence in their communication?
Communicating absences to the school is easy!
Either call or email the school directly, email your child's teacher, send a good old-fashioned handwritten letter, or submit the absence via our School App which you can download via the App store or Google Play.
Mothers' Day Breakfast & Stall
On Friday, 12th May we will celebrate all the mothers, grandmothers and other special ladies in our lives with our annual Mothers' Day events.
From 8:00 am until 8:45 am Egg and Bacon Rolls, will be served and of course, we will have the coffee van on-site.
Around 9:15 am students will have the opportunity to go shopping at our Mothers' Day Stall and purchase from a range of gifts to spoil their mums come Sunday. Gifts will range between $2.00 - $5.00 so there will be something for everyone.
If anyone is interested in assisting on the Mothers' Day Stall and you are available between 9:00 -11:00 am on the day, please submit your details via the following form by next Monday 8th May.

Please note that all volunteers must hold a valid Working with Children Check.
It's a Boy!
Congratulations to the Sawan family on the safe arrival of little Jacob (brother to Mia in Year 2). We look forward to meeting him soon!
Student Portfolios
We hope you have taken the opportunity to celebrate with your child their Term 1 achievements as contained in your child's portfolio.
It is important that the portfolio be returned to school this week so that we can continue to compile samples.
Uniforms
Over the next two weeks, children will transition into their winter uniform.
Thank you to families who are handing in completed uniform order forms to the office for pick up at a later time. It is certainly relieving congestion around the office.
Order forms are available from the front office and items can usually be collected later in the day.
Book Club
The Book Club catalogues for Term 2 will be sent home in the next few days. Please be aware we have recently identified some teacher/classroom information is not entirely up-to-date, and this may affect how you place your order. Rest assured all orders will be processed and will reach the correct children. All teacher/classroom information will be updated before Term 3. For any queries regarding ordering, please contact Danielle on 0402 131 782.
Lunch Orders
Please find below the link to our Lunch Order Price list that we ask you to reference when filling out orders with your children.
