On Monday October 31, The Fire and Rescue Unit will be visiting Kindergarten students to assist with our PDH learning about staying safe. The visit will include looking at the fire engine and a lesson on fire safety. There is no cost involved and students will remain at school for the duration of the experience.

Thalgarrah Information - Please email your child’s class teacher if you are able to accompany your child’s class to Thalgarrah. We need 2 parents per class to help out on the day as students complete most activities in small groups and need close supervision.

If paying on-line for the Thalgarrah excursion, please make sure the payment is made 3-5 days prior to the excursion to allow time for the payment to come through the system. The bottom blue slip of the permission note also needs to be returned to your child’s class teacher.
