What we have been up to...

Let's Get Moving

In the last two weeks of Term 3, the Preps did lots of dancing practise to get ready for our big performance. We were so proud of how they performed and also how they were able to watch the rest of the school do their performances. Thank you to all of the parents who came to watch!

Footy Colours Day

It was great to be able to have our Footy Colours Day last Friday! We had lots of fun doing Footy themed activities and doing a Footy Clinic.
