Joke of the Week
Two monsters went to a Halloween party.
Suddenly one said to the other,
"A lady just rolled her eyes at me. What should I do?"
The other monster replied,
"Be a gentleman and roll them back to her."
School Fees
Thank you to families who have paid their fees in full. For those families paying their school fees in installments, you should have received an updated fee statement showing your current balance. Please note that 5/6 children will not be permitted to attend camp if their fees are overdue or if families are not on an existing payment plan. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact the office.
Annual Poppy Appeal
The annual Poppy Appeal has supported Australian veterans and their families for many years. It helps us to honour the service and sacrifice of the people who have served our nation. At the school office are poppies and other items ranging from $2 to $10 should your family wish to donate. School / House Captains will also be selling remembrance items before and after school in the shared area.

Term 4 Uniform
We remind parents and children that term 4 has a ‘No Hat – No Play’ Sunsmart policy. Children must have their hats for every break and PE lesson this term. It must also be a proper Holy Saviour hat, normal caps with other logos are not our school uniform and children will not be allowed to play unless it is the proper hat. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Just a reminder also that during term 4, all children will be required to wear their sport uniforms on Tuesdays (dance lessons) and Thursdays (swimming). Full school uniform is to be worn on all other days.
