Mr Butts' Announcements
Our Preps have notched up 100 days of school!
Every minute matters!
As you all know, if a student is absent and the school is not made aware of the reason, we are required by law to contact parents and carers to ensure the children are safe and note why they are away. Parents and carers can notify the school by our app or by calling the office in the morning.
100 Days for the Preps!
Congratulations to our wonderful Preps who celebrated their 100th day at school last week! They have come such a long way and are loving their learning in the classroom. What a great achievement!
