PHYSICAL EDUCATION:

Our sports days will be Monday and Wednesday. The children need to wear their sports uniforms on these days.

HEADPHONES:

We encourage students to bring their own set of headphones to use with the school laptops. These do not need to be expensive and can be any style that suits your child. Please place them in a zip lock bag and label with your child’s name.

PENCIL CASE:

At school, we provide your child with all necessary books, grey lead pencils, blue, black and red pens, a ruler, glue sticks, scissors, sharpener and an eraser. However, we encourage you to send your child to school with a pencil case with a few extra grey lead pencils and also coloured pencils or textas.

NAPLAN:

Your child is completing the NAPLAN assessment this term. The testing period will run from Wednesday 11th March - Friday 16th March. Exact dates will be provided closer to NAPLAN.

We look forward to working with you and your child this year.
