Watch for bikes in the Carpark
Thank you to everyone who continues to do the right thing in our carpark. We want to take this opportunity to remind everyone to please watch for students who travel to and from school by bike. We want to continue to see students get the opportunity for physical activity, but do not want to see them get injured. We would ask everyone to be mindful of them, particularly in the afternoon as they leave the school.
Eggs for Sale
The junior school students are selling eggs on Mondays at 3.00pm outside the Burrow for $5.00 a dozen, continuing next term.
These eggs are from the school chickens and profits will go towards a charity chosen by the students.
VCE Studio Arts Exhibition - Postponed

Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child boxes due first week back of Term 4!
Thank you to all who are participating in the OCC project by filling a box with gifts for children in developing countries.
We will be finalising collection on Wednesday, 9 October in Week 1 of Term 4 so you still have the holidays to go shopping and put together a box of goodies.
We have given out all the 'fold your own' boxes, but don't let that stop you from being involved as a regular shoe box is just as acceptable!
Please remember to include $10 with your box to cover postage and handling and to indicate whether the box is for a girl or a boy - aged between 5-9.
Click here to go to OCC website for details of what to pack.
Thank you so much for getting involved - and don't forget to bring in your boxes by Wednesday, 9 October.
Mrs Nicholas and Mrs Roberts
