Principal's Report

Pupil Free Day

A reminder that next Tuesday 10th March, is a pupil free day, as our staff will be attending a network professional learning day.  OSHC will be running for families who require this service, however bookings are essential. These can be submitted via the link on the OSHC page of this newsletter.  

National Assessment Program -Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN)

NAPLAN, for students in Years 3 and 5 will commence next Wednesday.  This week, students have been revising what to expect in the assessments, which will be held over a period of 10 days.  Should your child miss an assessment due to absence, there will be some opportunities for catch up tests to be conducted.  Please speak to myself or Dave if you have any concerns or questions.

Prep Attendance

As of next week, students in Prep will commence full-time attendance.  This can be a big adjustment for children, so if you feel as though your child is getting too tired and needs a rest day, please speak to Ellen.

School Photo Day

This year's school photos will be taken on Wednesday 25th March.  Orders can be placed via the Compass Portal, though until the 31st March.  Please note that additional charges apply for orders placed on or after the 1st April. For more information, please refer to the School Photos page.

Fun in our Fairy Garden

Our Fairy Garden is a favourite place for students of all ages.  Whether it's hunting out mini-beasts, foraging or chilling with friends! Many thanks to Steve for his recent donation of our fairy table and chair setting, which is getting plenty of use!
