A friendly reminder: 

Working Bee 9-11am:  Sunday 28th March

We encourage families to come along to the Working Bee and welcome new families to the school to join us. Working Bees ensure our grounds are kept neat and tidy for the students to enjoy and many hands certainly make light work. The priorities on the day will include tidying the gardens and sweeping and clearing away the leaves that accumulate so quickly because of our many beautiful trees. Garden beds will be mulched and the Kitchen Garden will be prepared for the planting of winter vegetables. Three raised planters outside the Library and Japanese rooms need to be relocated. 

Families are asked to bring along tools from home, including spades, rakes, wheelbarrows and leaf blowers if possible. We look forward to seeing you there.

Please register your attendance here.

School photos: Monday 22nd March

We understand, for a range of reasons, that there may be incidental occasions or circumstances that arise when the children arrive in clothing that is not school uniform. We ask families to please adhere to school uniform throughout the year and it is particularly important for the class and individual photo.  We also ask that our Year 5 and Year 6 students do not wear their inter-school sports polos on photo day.
