REMINDERS AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Wishing everyone a peaceful and blessed Easter and a wonderful break. Travel safe if you are going away this holiday. We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 26 April.
A huge SHOUT OUT of thanks to our helpers
It’s been a busy term, but so wonderful to have events on and family members attending. Our events go ahead because of the generosity of our staff. So much planning, arranging and attending happens outside of school hours. Additionally, we could not run a Community Council, parent reps, carnivals, raffles, netball, canteen and clothing pool (the list goes on) without adult helpers.
So from the staff and students we send a big thank you to all the parents, grandparents and family members who have helped at events or in the school during Term 1.
Please Note that there is a pupil free day on Monday 24th April.
