Breakfast Club

The school staff have decided to offer our students the opportunity to join our Breakfast Club in the mornings between 9:00-9:20am each day. At this stage the club will be offering toast only, with the spreads either vegemite, jam or just butter. Students are asked to line up quietly after the bell at the library door with the line going down the ramp not the steps and place their order one at a time with Mrs Jones, Mrs Mate, Miss Kate or Miss Jen. There will be no cost to our families. The Breakfast will open for the first time on Monday.

Over the passed few weeks our students have been engaging in a range of playground activities, please enjoy these lovely images!

Have a wonderful week!
