Influenza A reminder

We have many confirmed cases of Influenza A within our shcool community.

Influenza can spread quickly, so we ask families to please keep children at home if they are unwell, particularly if they have a fever, cough, sore throat, headaches, body aches or unusual tiredness. Thank you for helping us reduce the spread of illness and keep our students and staff healthy.

Father's Day Breakfast

What better way to start the day - than breakfast with our dads. Thank you to everyone who was able to join us last Friday for a cuppa and a toastie.

RU OK? 

This week students have been particpating in activities and learning how to ask people if they are ok. Many wore a touch of yellow to help recognise the importance of the day. 

Health Expo

What a great time our students had at our health expo today. So many fun activities and healthy treats to try. Thank you to everyone who made this such a great day, especially those who ran a station or, donated items. A big shout out to Mrs Mangan & Ms Ross for the extra time planning and organising the day.
