Hi Everyone!

Thanks for all the donations this week. Because of your collective generosity, we were able to lay out an impressive lunch for all the staff yesterday. This is always a lovely event and a small gesture from us all to thank everyone who works in the school for teaching, helping and supporting our beautiful children.

Particular thanks to the families of Prep D/E and Grade 2B/C who joined together to purchase from Noisette and to Ferguson Plarre who once again donated a wealth of amazing goodies - they continue to be an amazing support to the school.

As we approach the end of the term, we have just a few more PFA events or activities. Please read below to see how you can get involved.

2023 Yearbook

There are just a few copies of the yearbook left, but they are selling fast.The Yearbook contains the whole school (Prep to Year 6) and features students work, classroom pictures, and photos from various school events. It will be delivered to classes in the final weeks of term.

In addition to the 2023 Yearbook, there will be a Grade 6 Class Book. This is exclusively for our graduating grade six students, with a focus on their experiences in 2023. It is a great reminder for all the students of what they have achieved and participated in, during their final year of primary school.

We will be selling icy poles each Friday lunchtime until the end of term from the kitchen hatch, with a special classroom delivery service for the prep classes before lunch. Please send a gold coin in with your child on Friday mornings. Due to time, we will not be able to offer change or let your child choose a flavour.

Fete Update

Thanks to everyone who helped or attended the Fete. We raised over $40k, which is an amazing result. This will go towards improving the school grounds particularly the student toilet facilities and the sensory garden, and towards the new Masterclass subject we’re introducing in 2024 to provide targeted Literacy and Math to all students.

Many people and businesses have supported this event and we are grateful for all the donations of goods or time. We would like to particularly thank Ferguson Plarre, Bunnings, Ralphs and Hunky Dory who made large donations to our stalls. Many, many people helped out, thanks to every one of you.

If you have any feedback to share to help us plan for the next one, or photos for our Gallery please share.
