Today was 'Crazy Hair and Out of Uniform Day.  This day always shows the creativity of our school community.  Thank you for your support.  The Student Representative Council (SRC) have decided that the money raised today will go to playground equipment.   We raised approximately $850.00.

Year 2 Sleep Over

Tonight is our annual Year 2 sleep over - an exciting night is planned with many activities and pizza for tea.   Hopefully they will all get some sleep!! 

Father's Day Stall

Thank you to our team of parent helpers who worked with Renee Cotterell to hold another successful Father's Day Stall.  I hope all our Dad's enjoyed their gifts especially chosen with much thought. The stall raised $1312.70 which will go to our yard improvements.  As you will have seen, our newest playground and fitness equipment opened last week and is being enjoyed by all students.

Just a reminder of the final Curriculum Day for 2018.  It will take place on Monday 8th October 2018 which is the first day of Term 4.  Teachers will be continuing to learn new ways of teaching Literacy.  Students will not be required to attend school on this day.

What a fabulous time our year 4 students had at Phillip Island last week. Below are some highlights and funny moments from students in M25 and M26.

Crossing Supervisor

At the end of Term 3 our crossing supervisor on Henry Rd, Mr Ian Paddock will be retiring. I would like to thank Ian for keeping our students safe for the past 3 and a half years.  Ian's friendly welcome to school each morning will be missed by many.  This year Ian was nominated for the Crossing supervisor of the Year awards which was a highlight of his career and a very worthy nomination.  We wish Ian all the best as he enjoys time with his family.
