Term 3 - Week 10

Dear families,

We were lucky today to get through our annual Footy Colours Parade before the rain started. It is always great to see our students get involved in dressing up as well as having our parents joining us for these whole school events. Thank you Mr Feeley for organising this even.

Another busy term concludes today and we are now 3/4 of the way through school year which is quite remarkable. Our students have had a productive term with many excursions, our year 3 camp and the kick off for Jump Rope For Heart to name a few. Next term we look forward to our year 4 camp, Matilda the Musical, Prep Spooky Pizza Party, year 1 stay late and year 2 sleep over.

Our first day of term 4 is Monday October 7th and we have 1 further curriculum day, which staff will be using as their report writing day, which will be held on Monday the 4th of November (the day prior to Melbourne Cup public holiday). Over the school holiday period, we have quite a bit of buildings and grounds works occurring. We have our Gaga pit being installed and carpet replacement in the administration offices. As a result, our school gates will be locked during these holidays for at least the first week.

Have a lovely, safe and restful holiday.
