Reminders

We have noticed there are many children who come to school with laces. If they can't tie their laces, it is recommended they have velcro shoes. Here is a video to assist with learning to tie laces.

Wildlife Incursion

The children absolutely loved learning about the animals from ‘Wildlife Xposure’. They were able to bravely hold some of the animals and give them a pat. We saw lizards, possums, snakes, a frog, a turtle, a kookaburra and even a crocodile!
