What we've been up to in Prep
Grandparents & Special Friends Day
Thank you to our special family members who were able to join us for Grandparents and Special Friends Day. We loved showing you our classroom and spending time together completing activities.
Important information
Getting reading for Grade 1
We are quickly approaching the end of the year and the end of our Preps first year of school. At this point in the year, we begin to prepare the Preps for Grade 1. Students should be lining up outside before the bell each morning and coming into the classroom independently, every day. We would love your support with encouraging your child to do this.
Be Awesome Day
Be Awesome Day is tomorrow! We would love to see as many families as possible. If you are around and are able to volunteer your time to support the Prep stalls please come and see us. This will include supervising/running the stall during your time slot. Your help and your time is greatly appreciated, as the teachers will be required to support the students on the day.
Tissues
The Preps have run out of tissues. If you can donate a box to us, we would very much appreciate it!
