From 8:30am 

Prep-2 – Turf area (sections will be set up)

Year 4 Art Academy

Here is the Art Academy crew parading their amazing t-shirts. 

There was nothing but Tie Dye fun in our Year 4 Art Academy lunchtime club.  We had so much fun creating these, and students were super excited to see what patterns they had created.

From Sophie in Sickbay

The Preps are having their first full week at school this week and there seem to be a lot of very tired children in all year levels.  Add to that public health warnings that gastro is still rampant in the community and we can all see the benefits of good hygiene, good nutrition and a good night's sleep for the whole family.

As always, please do not send your children to school if they are unwell.
