NAIDOC WEEK
We celebrated NAIDOC Week (July 7-14) with a variety of break-time activities, including storytelling, weaving, rock painting, friendship bracelets, Indigenous games, and a colouring competition. Congratulations to all the winners!
Our casual day and sausage sizzle were a great success, raising over $400 for the Opening the Doors Foundation.
Thank you to our amazing FIRE Carriers: Bridget, Annit, Emelia, Sam, Caitlin, Eleanor, Tayden, Dash, Connor, and Audrey. Special thanks to Bron and Marie for cooking our BBQ and to all staff and students for their enthusiastic participation in the NAIDOC Week 2024 celebrations.

Orders can be placed by sending order form and cash in envelope to the office or using bookclub LOOP by Friday 2nd August.
Canteen
Absent on lunch order day
If your child is going to to be away on a Friday and you have ordered a lunch order, these do not automatically get placed on hold as the canteen until the week after unless you notify the office to do so. Please call the office by 9.30am on Friday to notify of absence and to hold lunch order.
Sharing Money
Please talk to your children about bringing and sharing money on canteen days. This is not permitted as it is very difficult to monitor. Children are responsible for their own money and ideally they would have the correct amount for what they would like to purchase at break times but we know this is difficult to predict.
Please remember to supply a lunch order bag/container when you place a lunch order. Students place these bags in the lunch order tub in the classroom by 9am Thursdays and their lunch order will be packed in it on Friday. Please make sure it is clearly labeled with students name and class.
Lunch order wallets are available through the Uniform Shop for $12.
Uniform
Term 3 is Winter uniform.
Football/Netball Club hoodies are not part of our uniform. Please do not wear them to school.
There are lots of bomber jackets in lost property both at school and YMCA after school care. Please check lost property and be sure to label uniform items clearly so they can be returned to owners.
