22.01.2022 Today we are encouraged to ask "R U OK?" More than ever, it is important to check in on a friend, family member or neighbour.

So, take a moment to be kind and compassionate and reach out today....

15.01.2022 Swimming in the rain was one of my favourite things to do as a kid, but sitting on the side of a pool in the wind and rain certainly wasn't!

The health of the children is my number one consideration in making this tough decision. We will run a normal school day today and will book our Swimming Carnival and Beach Da...y in next term.
