22.01.2022 Due to popular demand if you have any unsold Christmas raffle books you do not intend to sell. Please return them to the school office or tuckshop ASAP. So we can sell them. Thank you

21.01.2022 We are in need of some help with our Fathers Day stall this week. We assist the children with their choices and their payment, which can be quite difficult decisions especially for the younger grades. If you can stay after drop off for an hour or 2 your help would be appreciated. We are also needing some help in our Tuckshop Monday and Tuesday as our tuckshop convenor is unwell. Our wonderful assistant Lisa could use some help to make some sandwiches, pizzas, cut up some salads etc. Bounce coffee or a drink provided to every volunteer. NOTE- All volunteers need to sign in at the office and follow social distancing and proper hand hygiene whilst on school grounds. We need to know in advance who is helping also, you will not be allowed onto school grounds unless we know you are arriving to volunteer.

20.01.2022 Raffle notes are coming home today. Apologies to the Zaro family for the incorrect spelling but we missed the error until the notes were already handed out. Send in some money and get your tickets in this delicious basket of goodness from the candy wrapper. Drawn Thursday 17th September. Don't forget the Colour Funrun is on this Friday so get those donations in.

20.01.2022 Thanks to a generous donation from the Zaro family we are raffling off this chocolate basket from the Candy Wrapper valued at $90. Tickets are available from the Tuckshop until the Thursday 17th September. $1 each or 3 for $2

16.01.2022 Its great to see the kids back at school this week and getting back into learning. #After our P&C meeting this week we would like to announce Family Fun Night this year is cancelled. Our fundraising events this year will be very different to the past but we will continue to try to come together as a community and support the school. #We are working on a Pie Drive so look out for order forms coming your way soon. This cooler weather calls for some delicious warm meat & apple... pies. #Colour fun run will still be going ahead in September and i know the kids absolutely love this event so we are so happy. # As you would have seen in this weeks school newsletter the P&C recently donated $45 000 to the school to purchase new desktop computers and tablets. This was identified by the school as an area we needed to upgrade so each child gets the opportunity to keep up with learning and was an area government funding just wasnt keeping up with. It's thanks to all of you who support our P&C events and fundraising that we could support the kids with these purchases so we cant thank you enough. # We are looking for feedback from parents on areas the P&C can support next. Is there a lack of resources somewhere you or your child has noticed? Have you noticed an area of the school that needs some work? Let us know See more

10.01.2022 It's R U OK?Day, a reminder that every day is a day to start a conversation that could change a life. Today we're calling on Australians to learn what to say af...ter R U OK? so they can keep the conversation going when someone says they're not OK. There's more to say after R U OK? Learn what to say when listening with an open mind Learn what to say when encouraging action Learn what to say when checking in Learn how to continue a conversation that could change a life. When we know what to say next we can help someone open up and find pathways to support long before they're in crisis. Learn what to say next and help us move closer to our vision of a world where we're all connected and are protected from suicide. Head to www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask
