New 5/6 Playground

A big thank you to our Junior School Council, Art Captains and Tech Captains for designing the new Year 5/6 Playground. We are waiting for an installation date for later this year but for now here’s a sneak preview

Food Share Drive

Between the 15th August and 2nd September, our school is conducting a Food Share Drive to support Food Share in the busy holiday season.

Food Share do significant work for our school, and we'd like to return the favour.

Every classroom has been given a cardboard box to collect non-perishable foods and hygiene supplies.

At the end of the Food Share Drive, we will pile all donations in the middle of the gym to see the big donation our school makes.

To gift of generosity and compassion is already a strong incentive, but to add a little bit of extra initiative, the top two classes who donate the most items will be awarded a Pizza Party by the JSC.

Food Share are most in need of spreads and hygiene supplies, so these products will be worth two points.

Thank you to our generous Jamo Community in advance from the JSC on behalf of the school.

Book Week Dress Up Day and Parade

Book week this year is from 20th to 26th August with the theme being "Dreaming with Eyes Open". One of the ways we will be celebrating is by holding a Dress Up Day and Parade on Tuesday 23rd August.

Book week is a time of celebration and an opportunity for your child to dress up as there favourite character from a much loved book. Costumes can be as elaborate or minimal as you like.
