Welcome Picnic and Yallabirrang Learning Story Fence Launch
You may have noticed the beautiful posters up around the school for the upcoming Welcome Picnic and the Opening of the Yallabirrang Learning Story Fence on Friday, March 1st from 3pm-6pm. Bring along your picnic rug and enjoy the festivities, including a Smoking Ceremony, entertainment by the Teacher Band and Charm of Finches, wood fired pizzas and children’s activities. This is shaping up to be an unmissable community event!

Over the next few days please be aware your child will be coming home with an important envelope. This envelope contains vital contact and enrolment information that needs to be checked, updated where necessary, signed and returned as soon as possible. Don’t forget to check down the bottom of the bag under those ‘forgotten’ apples and bananas!
