Today the Foundation students went to the Ulumbarra theatre to see Pevan and Sarah in concert. The students were extremely excited and enjoyed singing and dancing with Pevan and Sarah. This was a wonderful opportunity for the Foundation students.

CHANGE OF DATE FOR FOUNDATION AND BUDDIES MASS

We have had to change the date for the Foundation and Grade 5 buddies Mass. The new date for Mass is now Friday 5th of December. This is our final Foundation & Buddy Mass for the year, and an invitation will be sent home in the coming weeks. Families are welcome to come along to join us for Mass in the church at 9:15am.  

HATS AND WATER BOTTLES

Just a reminder that all students are required to wear their hats at school. If they do not have a hat, they will not be allowed to play.  Also, with the hot weather, can you please ensure that your child has a water bottle filled with water. We ask that students only bring water to school.  

BOXES FOR THE COLLAGE AREA

The Foundation students have all been very busy in the collage area during Investigation time creating a variety of amazing pieces. Unfortunately, we do not have any boxes left for the Foundation students to use. If you have any boxes at home, could you please bring them in as soon as possible.
