Good luck to all participants and if you have any questions, please contact me.

Italian Day - 13 August

Italian Day will be held on Thursday 13 August 2026.

The children can come dressed in Green, White and Red or something/someone Italian. They will all attend the production - “Luigi Zucchini”, an interactive, comedy magic show that I’m sure will leave us all mesmerized!!!! 

There will be lunch orders on the day - children may order pizza. 

Instructions on placing a lunch order will be provided via School Stream closer to the event.  Orders need to be placed via QuickCliq. 

Thanks to our wonderful P&F, the children and staff will enjoy gelato on the day.  A gelati van has been organised. The gelati are gluten and nut free with a range of flavours to choose from. The gelato will be served in cups.   

If you do not want your child to receive a gelato, please let their class teacher know.
