25.01.2022 Thank you to everyone that took part in our handball competition. The day was a massive success which raised over $600. Money raised will go towards the Year 6 gift to the school. Congratulations to Mase and Billy for taking out the K-2 and 3-6 titles. Well done to all the students that took part, the day was played in excellent spirit. A big shout out to Mr Lucey for cooking the sausages and well done to Mr Shaw and Year 6 for running a successful competition. We look forward to doing it all again next year.

24.01.2022 Dear families and carers of our 2021 Kindergarten students, We have had to cancel all direct contact orientation activities due to the latest Department of Education COVID19 school operations advice. Unfortunately this means that our planned orientation visits and activities for next term need to be cancelled. We know this may be disappointing and we want to do all we can to help prepare yourself and your child for primary school. We are currently investigating the most appr...opriate digital platform to deliver information to families over the coming months. I will be calling parents next week to share information regarding the procedures that will be put in place to assist with the transition for your children. Regards, Mr McMahon

22.01.2022 As part of SASS recognition week we would like to thank Mrs Mariani, Mrs Keaton, Mrs Parsons and Mr Lucey who make up our amazing school administrative and support staff who provide comprehensive support in our school. This year theyve had to be increasingly flexible to adapt to changing scenarios and pandemic restrictions, highlighting the vital role they play in keeping our schools running efficiently every day. You continue to always have the best interests of the students at the centre of everything you do. So on behalf of all the staff we would like to say THANK YOU!

21.01.2022 Dont forget that tomorrow is our annual handball competition. There will be separate competitions for students in years K-2 and 3-6. Entry is $5 and includes a sausage sandwich and a drink. All money raised will be going towards the Year 6 gift to the school. All students are encouraged to wear mufti however we do ask that their school hat is worn. It is expected to be a warm day tomorrow so we suggest sending your child to school with a bottle of water. The canteen will still be running as normal at break 1 and the sausage sizzle will take place at break 2.

13.01.2022 Stage 2 Camp Cancelled We have just been informed by Taronga Zoo that the Stage 2 camp has been cancelled. This decision was made by the zoo itself and not the department. We are waiting on further advice from the department or camp provider in relation to the Stage 3 camp.... A note will be sent out next week to all Stage 2 parents asking if they would like the money that has already been paid to go towards activities next year or if they would prefer to have the money refunded to their bank account. If you paid cash, the money will be returned via your bank account.

If your child is in Year 3, 4 or 5, parents will have the option to have a refund or use the funds for future payments.
