16.01.2022 Working Bee with Ten on Creek Embankment TEN (Taroona Environment Network) are going to hold a working bee in the school grounds on Sunday April the 6th from 10am 'til noon. They are hoping to get as many volunteers from school parents as possible. We may have a get-together over a cuppa or barbecue lunch afterwards. TEN will provide gloves, tools etc but if you have a favourite pair of gloves bring them along - and wear sturdy shoes and tough clothing (there are many spiky weeds growing on the bank above the creek and it is very steep!).

04.01.2022 National Excellence in Teaching Awards (NEiTA) As some parents would know, Bobby Pedersen received a state excellence in teaching award as a part of the above NEiTA system, after being nominated by a group of parents at our school.

This is a fantastic achievement for Bobby and a great reflection... on the overall quality of teaching at our school.
