Father's Day Stall

Students will have the opportunity to purchase items for family members next Friday at the Father's Day gift stall. Items will range from $2.00 to $5.00.

Water Bottles

A number of students are coming to school without a water bottle. Please make sure you remind your child to pack one each morning, as due to the Covid-19 restrictions, there are no bubblers available for use.

Uniform

Students are expected to be in full school uniform whenever they attend school.  If for any reason your child is out of uniform, please send in a note. All items should be labelled - especially hats and jackets. Students are reminded to check the lost property bin if they are missing an item, which is located at the front office. There are a number of jackets and other pieces of clothing unclaimed from last term. 

K-6 Paper Aeroplane Competition

For Australian and International school students, there is an online 2020 Young Scientist paper plane competition. As a challenge to all our students, we are encouraging K-6 to have a go at making their best plane ever! A video of their throw must be uploaded with your entry by midnight Friday 28 August 2020. This is an optional activity for a bit of fun, however, if students don't make qualifying flying time or distance they could still be in the running for the best plane in their class. We will then have a fly off of the 2 best ones from each class at school on Friday 28 August. To qualify your child will need to throw over a specific time or distance. Paper planes must be made in front of a supervising adult witness using regular A4 or Quarto paper (80GSM or 90GSM). Paper planes are to be made by the student competitor. Only folding is allowed, no cutting, gluing or taping. Only one piece of paper per plane may be used. Please refer to the website for further information.
