24.01.2022 Ive made a short video showing you how to change your Connect notification settings. Maybe youre not getting phone notifications or perhaps you feel like your inbox is full of Connect emails... heres a video showing you how you can choose to be notified when a staff member sends out a notification. Please note you will need to do this on the Connect webpage, not through the app. Please ask any questions in the comments section. Thanks, Tash

24.01.2022 Did you read about Sophie in our latest newsletter? We're so proud of Sophie. Her entry in the Coles Little Treehouse Writing Competition was judged in the top 100 across Australia! Sophie not only won a prize for herself, but 100 books for our school library. Thank you Sophie! ** Photo published with permission **

22.01.2022 Drama in the bush last week! We had a fallen branch which was home to a massive bee hive so students havent been able to play in the area. It caused lots of interest - particularly as there was exposed honeycomb!

22.01.2022 Please find the 2021 student booklist for all year groups below. If you wish to order directly from Campion, please order online at www.campion.com.au using " YTFB" as your code by Wednesday 4th November 2020. If you prefer a paper copy, there will be copies in the front office. For those students entering Kindy and Pre-Primary next year, there is no need to label individual items with your child's name. For those students in Years 1-6 we ask all items are labelled. Plea...se note some items appear yearly on booklists and aren't expected to be puchased new each year as long as they are in good working condition (ie headphones). In regards to iPads in Year 3, there is no requirement the iPad provided is new, as long as the iPad runs on themost current IOS software. We prefer not to have iPad minis. This will be discussed in more detail at the Year 3 2021 BYOD information session to be held later in the term. Thanks, Tasha Donnelly See more

Thanks Sandy and Ange for taking such amazing photos!

We ask t...hat you consider the privacy of others when downloading/sharing pics that include other children other than your own. The EduDance performances from yesterday have been added too (thanks Mr Williams for recording).

14.01.2022 Have you met Karen? Karen has volunteered at the school since 2014. Shes one of our school neighbours and she has a passion for caring for the local bushland. Shes been the driving force behind restoring native plants to our school bushland and gardens. Karen has worked with Deb our gardener to identify non-natives in our bushland. She also works with classes and together they collect seeds to grow, plant native vegetation and she teaches our students about how to care for our natives. Shes worked with classes to create a bobtail garden near our undercover area and shes sure shes spotted signs of quendas in our oval bushland! Thank you Karen for all you do!
