Dear Families,
Pizza with the Principal - Preps and families
A reminder that this evening at 6pm we invite all our Foundation families to share some conversation and pizza. The event will take place at the back of the Performing Arts Area. The evening should conclude by 7:00pm approximately .
Students are not required to wear school uniform. Kelly Sports will conduct a short games time with them after pizza to enable parents to mix and participate in a community conversation with our Leaders.
Wedding Excitement!
We congratulate Brynell and Jake on their Wedding celebrated last Saturday! We look forward to having Mrs Lacriarde back with us teaching Foundation L after the long weekend.
Worth a read...
I was given this article from a grand parent in our community which was a speech from Pope Francis. It is as it says a 'great read and worth reflecting upon'. May we seek Happiness and never give up it!
