Well done and thank you to all those students who made the effort to dress up for Book Week. Primary school is not just for learning, but for making memories too!
360 Bus
This fortnight we were fortunate enough to have a visit from The Casey 360 Bus. This is a mobile youth information centre for young people aged 10yrs and up. Staffed by two youth workers young people can access information, support, games, technology, sports equipment, and free internet access.

Reminders
- Homework - students have set tasks on Prodigy to be completed by Thursday each week and are encouraged to practise their multiplication facts several times a week.
- Please ensure devices are charged each night, screen time settings are adjusted for the school day and remind family and friends not to contact students directly on their devices during the school day.
- Please remind students that they are not to play on the council oval before school. Instead, they are encouraged to play on the synthetic oval where there is teacher supervision.
