Congratulations to our Year 5 football teams who made it through to Regionals.

Incursion

On Thursday 10th August, we have arranged an incursion that will draw upon our inquiry unit, "What shapes our past?" It will focus on the Early Settlement and the First Fleet. This educational session will include valuable information about Indigenous culture and foster a deeper understanding of the Australian colonies. Information for this event can be found on Compass.

Reminders

Please ensure devices are charged each night, screen time settings are adjusted for the school day and remind family and friends not to contact students directly on their devices during the school day. Thank you.
