Term 4 Week 2

Welcome to Term 4! 💙

Hello families and friends!

Welcome back to Term 4! The Parents & Friends have already hit the ground running, with events taking place last week.

A big thank you to our wonderful class reps for keeping everyone informed and up to date with what’s happening across the school community. We really appreciate your time and support!

There are still a few more exciting events planned for this term, along with our end-of-year celebrations and formalities. Please keep checking your class chats so you don’t miss any important updates or opportunities to get involved.

Italian Day 

The theme for our Italian day could have been Mangia, Mangia! Our little school was filled with the smells of food. Thank you to our Italian Day group that volunteered to cook and serve a hot lunch sitting down around the table. Thank you to; Kathryn, Delia, Rosemary, Clare, Julie-Ann and Elice. 

SPECIAL SHOUT OUT-

Julian from Porco Ciccio generously donated all the focaccia for our Italian day lunch. Please make sure you head over there for a yummy Roman style panino and support a small business in our local area.

A Very Special Thank You! 

A very special thank you to Delia for coordinating our Italian Day food this year, and to Leo’s Nonnas for cooking all the delicious pasta and sauce for our children.

Our first-ever sit-down lunch was an amazing effort to pull off! So much time, care and hard work went into preparing and serving the meal, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make it such a special experience for the children.
