WEEK 6 TERM 1 Commencing Monday 4thMarch 2019

It seems hard to believe but by midday on Wednesday we will be half way through the first term of the school year. We have already enjoyed and achieved so much at the beginning of the year and we look forward to celebrating further achievements as the year goes on. Last Tuesday was a very special day in our community when we hosted an extremely enjoyable Term 1 Open Day. It really was wonderful to see so many community members in the school sharing the learning environment with our children. If you enjoyed yourself and wish to volunteer in our classrooms, please contact your child’s teacher. We would love to have you! Last week also saw our community engage in the annual Clean Up Australia Day event on Friday. It was terrific to see the children engaging in this activity and showing genuine interest and pride in our environment. The new week offers plenty for all members of our community. Please consider the following as you plan your week: SRC Induction Our 2019 Student Representative Council were inducted at a special ceremony at school this morning.
