Sorry, no parent spectators for the carnival in 2020.

14.01.2022 Swimming Carnival : Thanks for the parents who have completed and returned nomination forms already. We'd like these all in by Friday 30 October to help us determine the format that the carnival takes and to ensure our COVID-safe plans are in place well in advance. Any student that attends (regardless of whether they intend to swim 25m or 50m) should return a form to help us with numbers. Forms can be collected from the desk outside Mr. Wood's office. They are to be returned to Mr. Wood or into the tidy tray where the form was collected.

09.01.2022 Thank you to our awesome team of Year 5 Bridge Builders for 2020. They have supported our Junior students during break times since the middle of Term 1. They have demonstrated responsibility, leadership and collaboration whilst developing their own conflict resolution skills. Well done to you all! Students will meet Mr. Wood on Monday. If the orange BB vests could be washed and returned to school by Tuesday next week it would be appreciated.

09.01.2022 With storm warnings in place we will be implementing safety protocols at the end of the school day which were the same as yesterday. All students will be kept in classrooms if the weather is unsafe with lightening and thunder. Parents are to collect through the office for early departures or from the classroom at the end of the school day. Thank you parents for following these safety procedures.

08.01.2022 It appears that a storm is on its way. If conditions become dangerous we will again keep students in classrooms to be collected by parents (after usual bell time). At this point it would appear that it is safe for usual collection.

07.01.2022 Year 2/ 4/ 3 Pool Parties are tomorrow! We’re looking forward to having a great time at Albany Creek Leisure Centre. Students will need rashie/ sun shirt, towel, bag for wet gear and a fun attitude. Thongs/ sandals would be a good idea for the bus trip. If your child has sensitivity to some sunscreens then it is recommended that you supply your own for your child to use.
