Holidays are fast approaching and the next two weeks are filled with lots of events to finish the term with fun, laughter, teamwork and harmony.

The Fathering Project is holding an event this afternoon with a stem activity for dads and their kids. Building out of unusual materials together.

At the end of this week our cricket team will be playing against Tinonee Public over at Central Park. This will be our first game of the year and we wish them luck.

Next week we will be holding our Cross Country on Tuesday. Everyone is welcome to come along to cheer and encourage all the students from K-6. In the last week of school we will be holding our Easter Hat Parade on Tuesday 4 April at 9:30am and our Harmony Day on Thursday 6 April. Orange shirts can be worn on Harmony Day as the children will be participating in rotating activities throughout the day finishing with a celebration assembly.

Thank you to all the teachers that give up their time to put so much energy into making these extra activities happen for our whole school community.

The students and staff look forward to seeing family and friends at our upcoming events and also wish you all a happy, healthy and relaxing holiday break.

Our school strives for the expected attendance rate which is above 95% of students at school each day over the year. Students should be at school every day during school terms, including until the end of term.

Congratulations to the 88 students that had 95-100% attendance for the month of March. Sadly, this is only 45% of our students reaching the target in March.

We are here to support your child in getting the most out of their learning, which starts with them attending school every day.

To secure a placement for your child on the excursion, please return the expression of interest slip and the deposit to the office by Friday 28 April 2022 (Week 1, Term 2).

A great public school is made great with both the support provided by the Department of Education and the contributions made by the community. Schools also have the ability to enhance their educational and sporting programs by collecting school contributions from parents. This means funding for those extra resources to support programs to enhance the teaching and learning and ultimately the educational outcomes, of our students. We have kept the level of voluntary contributions per year to $35 per student or $40 per family, to a minimum to make this contribution affordable to all.

Payments can be made to the front office or through the school website using the payment tab.
