WIZARD OF OZ

Wizard of Oz tickets have been released and we have already had 285 of 300 ticket offers taken up.  If you haven't already booked, please reserve your tickets https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/400998155277 today and mark September 1 on your calendar as this is going to be a wonderful experience for both students, parents, carers and staff. 

SCHOOL SURVEY

The school survey is now live and you should have received a link in your email inbox.  The survey closes on August 31st so please complete it at your earliest convenience. 

FATHERS' DAY STALL

This year our Fathers' Day stall will be held on Thursday the 1st of September from 2-3pm from the canteen. You can now pay for gifts through Compass and the gifts are $12 each. You can also decline this event which would help us in knowing how many extra gifts we will have available for those who would like to purchase more than one. 

PICKUP 

Please keep your children out of the garden beds at the front of the school especially in the afternoons.  Our handyman/groundsman has lots of special things planted in readiness for spring and it is not fair to see them being trampled on.  Many of the agapanthus have already been damaged.  The garden beds are out of bounds to all students and children at all times. 

ATTENDANCE

It is a legal requirement that you log in to Compass to explain all absences within 7 days of your child being away from school.  You will not be able to complete this task after the 7 days has passed which means they will be recorded as Absent Unexplained.  Please make this a priority.

SCHOOL FEES

Term 3 accounts are due on Tuesday, 13th September, 2022.  Payment options remain unchanged and include via the Qkr App; EFT through bank (please use account number, under date on your statement & surname as reference); CentrePay and ADIG Direct Debit.    

THE COOLAMON CHALLENGE

Congratulations to Mia and Olive who were last week's winners of the yummy Coolamon voucher. The answers were:

Infants: The bunch of grapes represented the number 12.

Primary: Orange = 8, Watermelon = 12, Banana = 5

This week students are challenged to enter their most interesting animal fact. On Friday, one interesting fact from Infants and Primary will be randomly selected to win the Coolamon voucher. 

Goodluck!
