Dear Families,

Welcome to Week 2 of Term 4! The term has started smoothly and there's been plenty of positive energy around the school. I’ve been enjoying a few days in Bathurst - a great chance to enjoy all the exciting atmosphere. I’m looking forward to being back on site tomorrow to catch up with everyone and continue what’s shaping up to be a great term.

Congratulations to the winners of our MACSSIS survey competition. They were:

The Snook Family

Please come to the office to collect your $50 voucher at your earliest convenience. Thanks to the 63 families who completed the survey.
