Principal's Report

What a week!

We have had a fantastic final week of Term 2! What more could we want than to finish our week off in our Pyjamas/ Oodies! AND have a yummy breakfast! The $300 donated will go to State Schools Relief to provide school uniforms and education items for those who can't afford them. Thank you to Mr Fussell and the Junior School Council for organising this fun but very important event.

DISCO: Tuesday night we had our dancing shoes on - everyone enjoyed the Disco at ACPS! Thanks to all our parents who made it such a fantastic night! Big thanks to Mrs Eastwood and Miss Buzzini who stayed to help out and have a dance!

Our Grade 5/6 girls were invited to play in a girls AFL Gala Day with the Templestowe District!  Skills were developed and new friendships formed.
