Hello, from Carolyn.

Hello everyone!

Saturday 26 November, Election day BBQ and Cake stall.

Thank you so much to everyone who has offered to help on the stall. I am looking forward to the day as it is always fun getting to know people and taking the opportunity to promote our wonderful school. Paper plates, and instructions about labelling food items, were sent home earlier this week with all students. Home baked goodies can be brought to the stall early Saturday.

Our Art Show.

While Ms. Leversha, our Art teacher, has been absent, Paul Allen has been running our Art program. Paul has been able to work with the students to make sure their Art Show pieces are ready, hooray! On Monday Paul will be setting up the Art Show in our Library. You will be able to come in and enjoy the beautiful art each morning and after school on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

We have our fingers crossed that Ms. Leversha will be back at school very soon!

Mooooving our cow sculpture.

We need some strong, willing helpers to help move the cow sculpture out of the entry area. We have plans to turn that space into an Art Gallery where we can display art created by our students and staff, and any of you too!

If you can help us, please wait near the main entrance on Friday 2nd December at 8:45am. We are going to need plenty of helpers so don't be shy and think we won't need you, we will!

School banking details.

Our 2023 Parent Payment documents were sent home on Monday. If you haven't received yours yet, check your child's school bag before you call us. It seems like some of the information didn't make it into everyone's packs so if you are wondering how you can pay via direct deposit, here are our baking details-

Westpac.

BSB: 033-688

No more Art donations needed, thank you!

Thank you to the many families who have been dropping off items for the art room. We don't need anymore dropped off this year.

Scooter donations please!

Next year we will be reintroducing a Bike Ed program and will include scooter skills for our junior grades. If you have a scooter at home that is no longer being used, we would love you to donate it to our Bike Ed program. Scooters must be in excellent condition. If we get plenty of scooters donated, it means we have more funds to spend on safety equipment such as helmets.
