Art News

Dear Parents, in Term 3 you will need to ensure your child has a NAMED art smock kept in his/her classroom, as there will no longer be any “shared” art smocks available in the art room.

If your child doesn't wear an art smock in art class he/she will most likely come home with a school uniform that needs washing.

PLEASE come and look in the art smock barrel (in the art room) if your child’s art smock is missing!

Any UN-NAMED art smocks in the barrel will be available for a new home. Named art smocks will be either returned to a grade or put in Lost Property (outside the staffroom).

Thank you for your understanding,
