Please remember to pack a low pillow/cushion and blanket in your school bag on Friday morning. Children attending will be taken directly across to the hall and will be signed in by their teacher. Please pickup your children promptly at 6pm (follow the signs from Owen St to the Multipurpose Hall) so that we can sign out each child and start the next session on time.

Your movie starts at 6.30pm in the Multipurpose Hall. Please be on time with your parent to sign-in and receive your pizza. Don’t forget to bring a low pillow/cushion, a blanket and your full water-bottle. Parents/carers must sign you out at the end of the night at 8.45pm.
If you are no longer going to be able to attend, kindly notify the Office. We hope you have a great night! Thank you to the many parents who have volunteered to help out over the four sessions - we couldn’t run these events without your support!
