Principal's Post
Dear Families,
What a successful Cinema night we had on Friday evening. It was a great event for our entire St James community.
Thank you to the Year Five Champions who put so much time and effort into organising the event. The organising committee of Claire, Deb, Emma, Ash & April supported by Kylie did an amazing job.
The many parents who volunteered to help in so many ways; cooking, selling, serving, preparing food, setting up, packing up, etc all contributed to the success of the evening.
It was lovely to see so many students up dancing and singing as the movie came to its conclusion.
Congratulations to tall students who entered the colouring competition. There were so many excellent and innovative entries to choose from.
The winners were: Caleb Mills (Prep - Yr 1), Isaac Mc Jannet (Yr 2 - 4) and Tilliana Bobilak (Yr 5 - 6).

Other News/Dates
COVID
Covid has continued to be present in our school this week. A reminder to notify the office/teacher if your child becomes positive and isolate for 5 days.
We have a substantial supply of Antibacterial Hand Sanitiser that has an expiry date of 5/23. If you would like a bottle please collect one from the office. We also have a limited supply of RAT's and face masks still available, feel free to come pick from the office.
Prep Chairs
Following the purchase of new chairs for our Prep classroom we donated the old ones to Donations in Kind, a Rotary project. Donations in Kind collects equipment and goods from schools and other organisations then ships them to countries in need. Our Prep chairs will be sent to a primary school in Timor Leste. A great outcome!
