Due to the success of the uniform sale earlier in the term, we will be having another one in Week 2 of next term. This will take place on Tuesday & Wednesday both before and after school. Thanks again to Tania Hill for organising this.
Sports Day
What a great day!! It was fantastic to see so many families attend and also the efforts and sportsmanship displayed by all our children.
The house captains did a wonderful job preparing the teams. Well done to everyone.
I would also like to thank Rob Mclennan, Rachael Holman, Ian Burge & Bob Bowden for all their work.
Special mention to Mr Crossing for his work with the sound and also to two of our parents, Chantell Murphy and Paula Lyle, for taking Pilates and Yoga exercises. Chantell runs Seaside Pilates at Largs Bay, whilst Paula runs yoga sessions at various places, including Largs Bay Sailing Club.
We will have all our photos in next term’s newsletter.
