From the Principal's Desk
Art Show
Congratulations on what was truly an amazing exhibition of our children's artwork across the year!
It was wonderful to hear the oohs and ahhs and wows as families entered the exhibition and explored the Art work.
The challenge was put to students that they needed to find their five pieces of work, which would have allowed you all to explore the entire exhibition.
The torrential rain didn't stop the Big Players and Buyers' Advocates coming to bid at the auction. Bidding was fast and fierce and the boys from CCK Auctions did a fantastic job engaging the crowd. Those successful buyers should be most happy with their acquisitions all at 'fair and reasonable' prices. The artworks might even appreciate over time.
Guess Who Came to Visit?
It's been such a busy time I forgot to share with you our visitor who came to see us the other week.
Both were on their best behaviour, and surprise, surprise, both loved the attention.
Timetable Changes
With the end of the year fast approaching, timetables over the next few weeks will be adjusted to allow for 2025 Year Level Planning, PSG meetings, Transition days and the many other events synonymous with Term 4.
Therefore we ask that you pay close attention to details circulated via Class Dojo and communicated by teachers.
The main thing for students is that they wear their sports uniform on days when they are scheduled for Sport/PE.
Assemblies
As we approach the Advent season, our School Assemblies will be conducted in the Community Hall to incorporate our Advent Paraliturgies.
This coming Monday our Year Prep children will lead us in celebrating the first week of Advent.
Please see below for a summary of our planned paraliturgies:
- Monday 2nd December @ 9:00am:
- Year Prep to lead

- Monday 16th December @ 9:00am:

All families are welcome to attend. The liturgies will be followed by our usual Assembly items.
Christmas Concert
I hope you have all marked in your diaries the date and details of our much-loved End of Year Picnic/Christmas Concert scheduled for Monday 16th December.
Gates will open at 5:00 pm for families to set up
their picnic rug, join in some Christmas cheer and enjoy some time together before the formalities begin. Feel free to BYO a picnic dinner, or bring your own 'take-away'. Alternatively, our PFA will be running a sausage sizzle for you to enjoy.
In consideration to all, we ask that families sitting on deck chairs and the like set up toward the back or around the perimeter.
Formalities will commence at 6:00 pm with our Christmas concert: Dance Machine
Our concert will showcase the skills our children have acquired throughout our Term 4 Dance Program so 'be there or be square!'
After our concert, we will draw the winners of our Christmas Raffle (tickets will go on sale next week). And you never know... there might even be a visit from a man in red!
We hope this proves a wonderful opportunity to finish off the year on a high.
Fees and Levies
Thank you to all families who are up-to-date with fee and levy payments for 2024. Unless you have organised a payment plan, all fees and levies should have now been settled.
Unfortunately, we still have an outstanding amount of $28,809. Accounts will be re-sent again in the coming days, and in fairness to all families, we ask that overdue accounts be settled immediately.
Have a wonderful week.
God Bless
