Year 5 and 6 Swimming Lessons

Just a reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday 13th December) will be the last day for our Year 5 and 6 swimming program. A big thank you to the parents who volunteered to help with the walking for the Year 5 and 6 swimming program at Bluewater.

Year 6 Last Day of Term Activities

This Friday 15th December, our Year 6 students will travel by bus to attend our ‘End of Year Mass’ at St Mary’s Church. After mass, they will all walk to Colac Bowling Club (Lake) to participate in lawn bowls. Students will finish playing lawn bowls at 1:00pm and walk to the Memorial Square for a shared “Fish and Chips’ lunch. After lunch and a play, the students will walk back to school.

Thank you

A very big thank you to all our school families who have helped throughout the year at any of our sports events. I am very grateful for those who scored, umpired, supervised, coached and supported these events. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2024.
