The Whole School Photos are scheduled for Wednesday 24th March 2021. 

Students are required to wear Full Summer Uniform. If your child has PE on the day, they are required to bring their runners in their bag. 

As the photographs will commence at 9:00am sharp, we encourage all families to ensure their child/ren arrive at School before 9:00am.

Easter Hat Parade

As mentioned via News Feed, we will be celebrating Term 1 with an Easter Hat Parade on the final day of school (Thursday 1st April). All students from Prep to Grade 6 are encouraged to participate by making or decorating a hat to model during the parade. We have included pictures of some examples for inspiration. We encourage you to use recycled items wherever possible. Your support in encouraging your child/children at home would be greatly appreciated. 

At the Parade, there will be a raffle drawn by Family and Friends. Please check out the Family and Friends page of this newsletter for information about how to donate to the raffle and purchase tickets.
