Dear Families,
Welcome to Term 4
Term 4 is always a busy, yet exciting time of year!
Our students would probably agree that the most exciting event this term is our Colour Run on October 23rd. This is our major fundraiser for the year, and it will provide the funds for our brand-new Senior playground.
There will be ongoing prizes over the next few weeks for individuals and classes that raise the most money. So, please encourage your family, friends, relatives, and workmates to support our school and this fantastic initiative.

We truly appreciate your feedback. The information gathered is incredibly valuable in shaping the future direction of our school improvement efforts.
School Hours (Repeat)
Please note the schoolyard is unsupervised before 8:30 am. There are still many, many children on the grounds prior to this time.
For the safety of your children, I am asking that they are not dropped off at school before 8:30 am.
