Dear Parents,

As we settle into this term, just a reminder that children are asked to now wear their summer uniforms. Thank you to all those families that have ensured that their child has the correct sunglasses and hats.

Story Time

There are two more story time sessions......Do you have a preschool aged child that enjoys listening to stories? Why not bring them to story time? This is open to all preschoolers. The sessions have proved very popular and are held in the Library area from 2.30 to 3.15pm.

WORKING BEE

Special thanks to the families that helped out at our most recent Working Bee. It was a small but very hard working group who cleaned up all the trees and bushes from behind the basketball courts. The students were excited to get back many balls they lost over the year.

ASSEMBLY

Assembly will be in the Hall every Monday at 2:30pm. All parents are welcome.
