25.01.2022 Just a friendly reminder that Fathers Day gifts will be sent home tomorrow (Thursday). Please remind your child of the items they ordered and send a reusable b...ag into school so they can safely bring their gifts home. If anyone missed out on ordering a Fathers Day gift but would still like one, a selection will be available at the school office on Friday only. The gifts are $5 each and only correct change will be accepted. Wishing all the Dads, Grandads, Pops and Father Figures a great Fathers Day!

23.01.2022 Parents and Carers are reminded that students should not attend school if they have flu-like symptoms. Due to the low rates of influenza currently circulating in our community, we must take symptoms seriously. Students or staff who display flu-like symptoms should not be at school. They are now required to show a negative COVID-19 test result and be free of flu-like symptoms before returning to school. The School must sight the negative COVID-19 test result prior to allowing... students to return to school. Test results should be emailed to the school email, [email protected] along with your absence information. Unfortunately, you now cannot recommence school, until this has been sighted. Please note updated information has been posted onto Skoolbag.

22.01.2022 As part of Science Week, 3/4M took part in the Big Watermelon Experiment. Students predicted how many rubber bands it would take to implode a watermelon... The result was 245!! Sakura was closest with a prediction of 250. There were lots of willing helpers to put the bands on, as well as those who helped to keep count and record the experiment. Be sure to watch the video! #watermelonimplosion #bigexperiment #scienceweek
