Hold onto your flux capacitors and buckle up for a wild ride through history! A Step Back in Time is a time-travelling theatrical comedy that follows a wildly mismatched group of students forced to work together on a school science project – building a replica time machine. Led by a less-than-organised teacher and driven by academic rivalry, wealth, sarcasm, rhyme, and a whole lot of sass, the group unexpectedly activates the machine and is hurled into the past!

From prehistoric grunts and Egyptian grandeur to medieval myths, wartime heroes, disco queens, and 90s pop icons, the students stumble through the centuries, encountering legends like Cleopatra, King Arthur, Don Bradman, Albert Einstein, Kylie Minogue, Cathy Freeman, and even The Beatles before they were famous! Each time period brings chaotic laughs, clashing personalities, unexpected friendships – and more than a few life lessons.

At the heart of it all is quiet, overlooked Shelly, who just might hold the key to getting everyone home. But will anyone slow down enough to listen?

Packed with humour, history, and hit songs from every era, A Step Back in Time is a hilarious and heartwarming reminder that teamwork, curiosity, and a little courage can truly stand the test of time.

Perfect for audiences young and old – this is one time-travelling adventure you won’t want to miss!

Late Arrivals

 Friendly Reminder – Punctuality Matters

We’d like to remind families how important it is to sign in at the front office if your child arrives late to school. Recently, we’ve noticed a number of students arriving late each day.

When students arrive late:

• They miss valuable instruction time.
• The lesson being taught is disrupted.
• Other students are distracted from their learning.
• On Thursdays, they may even miss the opportunity to put their lunch order in.

Arriving on time helps set positive habits for the future. Just as employers expect punctuality in the workplace, it’s important that students learn this responsibility now.

We ask all families to please make every effort to ensure students arrive at school on time every day. Thank you for your support in helping our students get the best start to their learning each morning.

Same-Day Notification of Student Absences-If your child is going to be absent from school, you are required to notify the school before 9:30am on the day of the absence.

You can do this by:

• Entering the absence directly in Compass, or
• Calling the school office on 5964 7783.

Thank you for helping us keep accurate attendance records.
