Dear Students, Parents, Carers and Families,

WORKING BEE SUCCESS!

Thank you to all of our amazing families, students and staff who volunteered their valuable time to for our second school community working bee on Saturday 6th August form 9am – 12pm.

Organised by our great FOM (parent) volunteers, we were lucky the weather held out so we could have an extremely productive day. We finished off with a BBQ sausage sizzle and some home made baked treats to thank everyone for their invaluable help in keeping our school looking great!

Gardens across the school were weeded and tidied, the Pirate ship timber oiled, wooden ramp rebuilt, and timber seats sanded.

BOOK WEEK CELEBRATION

Each year across Australia, the CBCA brings children and books together celebrating CBCA Book Week. During this time schools, libraries, booksellers, authors, illustrators and children celebrate Australian children's literature.

We are very excited to be able to celebrate Book Week together this year! On Thursday 25th, we will welcome back our School Book Week Parade. Students are invited to dress up as a book character and participate in this supportive and encouraging display of our love of books! There will be a book voucher prize for best costume in each year level as well as prizes for the best home-made costume and costume based on this year’s theme.

The theme this year is Dreaming with Eyes Open,

so, let your imagination run wild!

Our parade will commence at 9.05am and we invite parents and carers to join us. We are so looking forward to celebrating together as a community this year!
