Principal's Report

Sunday is market day!  Come and check out the bargains from 10-1pm, and grab a coffee while you're here!

Next week, students in Year 3/4 will be learning how to make pumpkin soup, which they will then be selling on Tuesday, from the canteen. The cost will be $3 per cup of soup, which comes with yogurt and bread. 

On Wednesday, the 4/5 class will be holding 'Bizzarre, Bazaar', a stall featuring goods, handmade by students.  Classes will have an opportunity to purchase items during class, or after school, when parents are also invited to grab a gold coin bargin!

Next Thursday, we are embracing football fever, with a 'Footy Fun and Sports Day'. Students are invited to come dressed in their team colours, or as their favourite sports person.  In the afternoon, students will participate in a rotation of different sports activities.

On Friday, the last day of school, we will have a casual dress day.  A reminder that school will finish at the earlier time of 2.30pm.

Our final tally for our Jump Rope for Heart is $4188.00.  Well done to all our very active students!
