A message from Early Stage 1

We look forward to seeing as many families as possible join us for the Hat Parade on Thursday 6 April, starting at 10:15 am. Following the Hat Parade, you are invited to stay for a picnic morning tea. The P&C will be selling hot cross buns, $2 each or 3 for $5.
 
It is hard to believe we are almost at the end of Term 1. The Kindergarten team would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support and we wish you and your family a safe and relaxing holiday break. Students return to school on Wednesday 26 April.
