Prep 50 Days
On Tuesday, the Foundation students joyously marked their 50th day of school with a variety of engaging activities centred around the number 50 and the notion of halves, as they eagerly approached the halfway point of their 100 days at school journey. The children embraced the theme by dressing themselves in a delightful blend of half sports uniform and half festive party garments.
Mother's Day
Don’t forget tomorrow is our Mother’s Day stall! We hope everyone has remembered to bring their money and notes to school so you can shop up a storm for your special people!
We are also looking forward to seeing lots of mums or other special visitors at school on Monday for our Mother’s Day morning. All visitors should make their way to their youngest child’s homegroup at 8.45am, all older siblings will join them there.
Walk to School Day
Next Friday 17th May we will participate in National Walk Safely to School Day! Rug up in your Winter Woolies and start the day in the fresh air, meeting your teachers at one of the four local parks. Once we have all walked to school together, students will again receive a sticker, stamp or tattoo to show their participation.
