12.01.2022 SCIENCE SHOW: The Jollybops Science Show was full of noise, colour, explosions and jokes today, with lots of science learning along the way. What a fun and interesting way to finish our first week back at school.

09.01.2022 ATHLETICS ROTATIONS: We are disappointed that due to COVID-19 restrictions, our Athletics carnival can no longer be a community event. Instead we will be running Athletics events tomorrow, Wednesday, due to weather forecasts which indicate that Thursday will be unsuitable. Our focus for the day is fun and participation. Students can wear sun-safe clothing in their house colours, and must have their broad-brimmed hat. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions, families are not able to attend. Thank you.

09.01.2022 EMU GULLY CAMP: Our Year 5&6 Camp at Emu Gully last week was fantastic in so many ways. With the focus on challenge, support, cooperation and a very healthy dose of fun, our students shone. You can see the hands out helping, groups working together, and lots of smiles in these pictures, but you can't hear the words of encouragement, the cheers, the 'You've got this' which we heard so many times over the three days. Great work everyone, for facing challenges and supporting each other. Thanks also to the amazing team at Emu Gully. Send in a named USB for a full set of photos. Thank you.
