Crazy Sock Day
Friday 3rd November is Crazy Sock Day. All students can come to school in mufti clothing including crazy socks. All money raised will go to Catholic Missions.
Summer Uniform
As the weather is warming up, it is really important for the students to be wearing a hat whenever they are outside. It is also an expectation and shows great respect for our school that the students are wearing the correct full summer uniform. We ask for parent support in reminding your child to wear the correct uniform every day.
Change in Routine
Can you please advise the school office before 2:30pm if there is any change in your child's afternoon routine.
