FATHER'S DAY BREAKFAST

On Thursday, 4th September, we will host our annual Father's/Special Persons Day stall. Students will have an opportunity to visit their stall with their class throughout the day to choose a gift. We have a range of gifts for Dad as well as a selection of gifts for a special person, should your child wish to select one of these instead. This event is now on Compass. If you would like to purchase more than one gift, please contact the office before completing the event on Compass. If your child is absent on Thursday, there will be an opportunity to choose a gift on Friday.

On the morning of Friday, 5th September, we invite all of our Dads/Special persons to a Cheese Toastie Breakfast.

BRICK PAVER FUNDRAISER

The old toilet block has been removed, and the new synthetic turf has been chosen, so we are preparing the site to put up our family pavers. This opportunity is now being offered for any families that are new to the school or missed the deadline last year. For just $50, your family can become part of our school's history. If you, a family member or a local business would like to order a paver, you can do so using the QR code below or by following this LINK. We hope you will support our school to fill the external gym wall with pavers; it is going to look amazing.
