Dear Parents/Carers

Thank you and well done to our Year 3 and 5 students who have been patient with NAPLAN over the last week and given their best effort to these assessments.

I was delighted to be approached by a group of our Year 4 students who are organising a Bake Sale to raise money for Caritas. They come to me with well-organised and thoughtful plans in place, and a clear idea of why they want to have this event. Congratulations to these students on thinking about others and trying something new!

Golden Horseshoe Parade

We encourage all students who are in town to join us for the parade on Saturday 19th April. (See flyer under Parent Engagement section)

This is always a great event and the more involved the more fun it is!

ANZAC Day Parade

We invite all students to join us for the ANZAC day Parade, Friday 25th April, 11:00 am. (More details will be sent closer to the date.) We have had great attendance at this event over the years. I am always proud to see our students march in school uniform and show how reflective they are.
