11.01.2022 **A reminder that due to COVID-19 restrictions our school grounds remain CLOSED and should not be used or visited. It was disappointing this morning to discover this damage done to the grass here at school. It appears that the hose has also been used to add water to this area to create the mud. If anyone has any information about this please get in touch with Kerri-Ann on 0408 389 319.

11.01.2022 Our P-3 students enjoyed a long day at school today.

02.01.2022 We had a great time at our first swimming session today!

01.01.2022 ANZAC Day this year is very different to every other year. Usually, as a school, we would commemorate ANZAC Day by attending the Great Western Service. Our students would participate in the March and lay a wreath. At school we would discuss the significance of ANZAC Day and our Junior students would make ANZAC Biscuits after learning about their history. This year, as we fight a very different battle from the safety of our homes, please take some time to discuss with your c...hildren the significance of today and take a moment to reflect on just how much we owe to those men, women and animals who sacrificed so much so we could live the lives we do today. Even if things are a little different this year, they fought, and many lost their lives, so we could be safe in our homes today. Lest We Forget. #StayHome #AnzacAtHome

01.01.2022 **Pupil Free Day TOMORROW** Don’t forget that tomorrow is a pupil free day and there is no school for students.
