Exciting Changes Coming to Sickbay!

We’re thrilled to announce that our Sickbay is getting a full makeover! Beginning in the final week of term, the space will undergo a major upgrade to better support the needs of our growing school community.

To allow for these renovations to take place, Sickbay will temporarily relocate for the last two weeks of term. From Monday 8th December, Sickbay services will be operating from LA1.

Please note that during the renovation period there will be no access from Reception through the internal hallway. Families collecting students from Sickbay will instead be asked to enter via an alternative gate. Clear signage will be in place to guide you, and LA1 will be accessible via its external entry.

Additionally, the disabled toilets adjacent to Sickbay are included in the refurbishment. Students who normally use this facility will be provided with an appropriate alternative during this time.

Thank you for your flexibility and support as we work to create a more modern, comfortable, and functional space for our students. I look forward to sharing the finished results with you soon!

Many thanks for your help!

Colour Run 

We would like to thank staff and parents, and their friends and family who took part in our Colour Run fundraiser last month. We estimate around 340 students took part, over 450 prizes were given, and we raised a whopping $6,724.59 for our school after costs. 

We hope that students and their families enjoyed the Colour Run, on what ended up being a wonderful sunny afternoon. Congratulations to LA4 for achieving the highest class total, and to Bryce W who was the highest fundraiser for our school. Students' prize selections arrived a few weeks ago, and our wonderful P&F Association members sorted and delivered them to classrooms.

Thank you to Trafalgar IGA for providing the fresh fruit for our students to snack on after the run. Thank you also to the parents who helped with the colour stations - it certainly added to the fun of the obstacle course set up by the Student Leaders, Daryl and Mr White! 

We look forward to organising another fun run next year.

Expenditure 

We would like to report on how we are using funds raised from our events, so that students and their families can see where their contributions are utilised. In Term 3 we engaged the Australian business, Flags & Canopies to purchase three new customised gazebos and accessories to replace some that had broken. These will be used for all school events such as the Athletics Day, Swimming Carnival and District Sports to help represent our school in a professional manner. You might catch a glimpse of these at the Festival on the Lawn. We also purchased three folding tables for whole school use. We hope that staff and students get plenty of use out of these items for years to come. 

We also recently funded the following:

• Upgrading of two air conditioning units in the gym
• Replacement of three external door locks to assist the school in complying with current safety standards

• Engagement of a contractor to complete line marking around the school

   

Thank you to all students, staff, parents, carers and other family and friends that have contributed to our fundraisers this year - your generosity has made a huge impact.
