Blue Reader Bags - Please ensure your child is returning their blue reader bag on their allocated day so they can change their books and update their Heart Words as needed. Reading for just 10 minutes each night is incredibly important for developing their reading skills.
Toys - We kindly ask that you limit the number of toys being brought to school. We've noticed an increase in toys coming in, and unfortunately, many are getting lost or damaged. The best place for these toys is at home. Balls such as basketballs, footballs, and soccer balls are fine to bring but ensure they are named.
Arriving on Time - Please ensure your child arrives at school before the bell rings at 8:45am each day. Arriving on time helps set them up for a successful and settled start to their day.
Curriculum day - Wednesday 13th August No students required at school.
Book Week Parade – Monday 18th August Students are invited to dress up as their favourite book character for our Book Week Parade. The parade will take place in the morning, giving all students the opportunity to showcase their costumes to the whole school.
