Welcome to Week 9 Term 4

As we come closer to the end of year things always become busy. Yesterday Stage 2 had their party day. We had lots of tired children and staff with everyone reporting a great day. Today we welcome parents into the school for kindergarten graduation day. All our Kinder students have made amazing gains both academically and socially through this year and I congratulate them all. Tomorrow is Band Presentation Night where our band students will be recognised for their achievements and Friday is our Year 6 Fun Day.

Next week it continues with the K-2 party day on Monday, Stage 3 party day, Year 6 farewell Wednesday evening and Presentation Day Thursday!

Make My Day!

Today I was lucky enough to have a visit from a very clever young man. Corben from 5/6P not only brought his 3-digit additions (with carrying) to share with me but also correctly completed one for us. We were also treated to his latest story. Great job Corben you are amazing us all!

It is a requirement that your child receive instrument tutor lessons to be in band, though this can be accessed outside of school hours by any music tutor provider. If you would like more information on accessing tutors outside of school hours, please email me.
