School Photo day was held on Wednesday 13 February.  Everyone’s photos should be up on  Compass by the end of the term.

International Women's Day

 On March 8, it was International Women’s Day. We celebrate this day every year to commemorate the women with social, economical, cultural and political achievements throughout our history. The three colours we use to represent this day are purple for justice and dignity, green to signify hope and white to signify purity.  

International Women’s Day brings awareness to all the fantastic things women are achieving around the world every single day. This day is also useful to say thank you to the women in our lives.

ANZAC Day Assembly

The Anzac Day  Assembly will be on April 24, at the stadium, where we will pay our respects to those who served our country. There will be a band performing and we will have a minute's silence to commemorate their courage and bravery.
