Principal's Report

Working Bee

Due to the wet conditions last Sunday our Year 2 and 6 Working Bee has been rescheduled for this Sunday, 23rd March, starting at 9.00am.  We have a lot of work to be done so we do hope families will still be available to help out!

 

Walkathon

Our School Walkathon is being held on Friday 28th March from 9.00 – 10.30am. Our Walkathon is always a lovely school event with many parents and grandparents joining us at Landcox Park to cheer on the children.  Our students took home their Sponsorship Forms yesterday. If the form has been misplaced, we have spare forms at each office.  This is a major fundraiser for our school, and we are always so grateful for the support we receive for this event! Team Kids are sponsoring a coffee van for all the adults attending the Walkathon – so look out for the little caravan in Mavis Street and order your free coffee, tea of hot chocolate! 

 

School Photo Day

School Photo Day for all classes is Monday 31st March and Sibling Photos will be taken the following day, Tuesday 1st April.  

 

Online orders are preferred by Advanced Life however both school offices have a small number of envelopes available for cash ordering. These must be given directly to the photographers on the day. No change will be given. Our school does not take any responsibility for cash payments.

Bush Bash 

On Wednesday, 2nd April, at 2.15pm to 3.15pm, we will be holding our Big Bush Dance. This year our Student Representative Council have chosen to raise money for the Red Cross Cyclone Alfred Appeal. This is a whole school event and will be held at the Senior Campus under the COLA. Students are asked to come to school dressed in their bush dance gear - jeans, check shirt, denim skirt or shorts. Parents and Grandparents are most welcome to come along and watch as the students perform the dances, they have been taught by Mr Pitts and Miss Cook during their Performing Arts classes. 

 

School Council

A reminder that the ballot for the 2025 School Council closes this Friday. Completed ballot papers need to be received and placed in the Ballot Box at the Senior Campus Office by 4.00pm, Friday 21st March. 

 

School Camps

Our Year 4 to 6 Camps have now all been very successfully completed and from what I have heard the children have had a ball and experienced new and fun activities.

A big thank you to our Year 4 to 6 teachers, Tom Pitts, Kirsten Travis, Athan Vlahogiannis and Cathy Edwards and all the assisting parents, for their hard work and giving up their time away from their own homes, to ensure the camps proceeded and enabled our students to have a most rewarding and memorable experience.  

Have an enjoyable week,

Janine
