EXTRA CURRICULAR - TERM 3

Parents will see Sentral messages, Facebook posts and dedicated parts of the Newsletter advertising upcoming extracurricular activities (such as Recorder, Dance, Choir, Drumming, Craft Club, Sketching Club, Circus, Multicultural Public Speaking and sporting team and representative sports trials). We continue to do this so parents are kept informed of when things are occurring so you can encourage your child to attend, trial and participate.
