Grandparents & Special Friends Day
Grandparents and special friends are invited to our exciting event on the final day of this term – Thursday 2 April. Our special visitors may arrive from 11:00am and make their way directly to the Stadium for our concert, commencing at 11:30am. You will be entertained by a Year 3 Indonesian Dance, Year 1/2 and 5/6 Choirs, Prep Poem and Parade and Year 4 Sports Challenge.
At the conclusion of the concert, our visitors are invited to visit and observe their grandchild/special friend in their classroom (12:30pm to 1:15pm). After class visits, enjoy an optional relaxing picnic (BYO) in the school grounds with your grandchild/special friend. Students leaving before the early dismissal at 2:30pm must have approval from their parent/carer given on Compass (watch for the early departure advice to be published on Compass next week) and be signed out with the classroom teacher between 1:15pm – 1:30pm from the list of students with parent/carer approval for early departure.
Reminder: BYO chairs, picnic rug and lunch if visitors are staying for lunch with their grandchild/special friend.
