The Blurbs Performance

We are excited to have The Blurbs booked again as part of our Book Week celebrations this year. The Blurbs visited us 2 years ago and put on a brilliant performance with lots of singing, dancing and crowd participation. This year’s show will feature a few of the wonderful books and songs many of the children will know.  https://theblurbsbendigo.wixsite.com/theblurbs

The performance will coincide with Book Week Dress Up Day, this Friday 23rd August. This incursion is for all students at a cost of $7.00. For your child to take part, permission and payment must be provided via on Compass. Thank you.  

Sickbay

When a student is brought to the sickbay, they are cared for by a staff member, usually Wendy or Sonia. Entries into sickbay are recorded on Compass, which automatically triggers an alert to the family. Phone calls to parents are only made if our concerns about the injury warrant this or if the child has received a knock to the head. Informing families about any head knock, even if only minor, is important due to the risk of a delayed concussion. 

Lunch Orders

I am sorry to report that I have no new updates. We are continuing to find a suitable solution to replace our lunch order provider.
