Welcome to 2020

 

 

 

Beach Activities Grades 3-6

Beach activities for grades 3-6 will begin in Wk 3 Friday 14th February. Information and  parent permission regarding these activities will be sent home shortly.

Prep Vision Testing 

This year we are lucky enough to have QLD health come to school and offer a free vision screening test for all Prep students. Information was handed out last week, please fill in your child's details and return the envelope to your child's class teacher.  The forms are being collected this week and testing will commence from Monday February 24th. Parents will be notified if your child requires follow up testing. If you did not receive the permission envelop, please see your class teacher.

Lost Property

If your child has lost anything at school, it is often  hiding in the lost property boxes! The green and blue lost property containers can now be found out the front of the new uniform shop.  Please ask your children to look in here should they have misplaced an item, or  you may like to check them on your way in or out of the school.
