TOMORROW, Friday 31st July we are holding our annual St Andrew’s Sports Carnival!

Prep - 2 will be doing fun games at the front of the school from 11:45am-1:15pm.

Years 3-6 will be competing in various events - shotput, 100m, 200m, high jump, long jump, and triple jump throughout the day.

If you would be interested in being a parent volunteer (Working With Children's Check required) to help with the events, please contact your child’s teacher.

Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather and wears their sports uniforms.

Parents are welcome to attend to join in the fun!

Book Week - 22 - 28 August

On Friday 28th August, at Assembly, our school will come together to celebrate Book Week.

All students are invited to dress up as their favourite book character or wear a costume inspired by this year's theme.
