Athletics Carnival
Competition was certainly hot at our Athletics Day on Monday !
Congratulations to all children, staff and parent helpers for getting through all activities throughout the morning.
A huge thank you to Mr Dan Palanca for orchestrating the event and congratulations to Chisholm (GOLD) who were crowned champions for 2026!
I am sure everyone slept well on Monday night.
Easter Raffle
A reminder that all raffle money needs to be returned to the office by Monday, 30th March. Please make sure your child's name (and grade) are written clearly on the tickets.
You are welcome to purchase additional tickets from the school office.
The raffle will be drawn on Thursday, 2nd April at around 12:45 pm in the Gathering Space.
Easter Egg Donation
In order to create the prizes for the Easter Egg Raffle, we are having an Easter Egg donation day tomorrow, Friday 27th March.
We ask that every family send in an Easter Egg/Bunny or box of eggs with their child(ren) so that we can package them into prizes for the raffle. Easter Egg donations are to be placed on the tables in the Community Hall upon arrival at school.
We are also looking for donations of cane baskets (or the like) to package our Easter Egg prizes. These can be donated at any time and handed in at the school office.

This is a very exciting time for Chrissie and her husband as they prepare to welcome their second child. We are thrilled for their growing family and wish them all the very best.
We are excited to welcome back Mrs Lauren Molluso from her maternity leave as Chrissie’s replacement.
Mrs Molluso will be teaching the class for three days each week. Mrs Von Senden, who is currently sharing the class, will continue in her role for the remainder of the days. The teaching arrangement will be as follows:
