Busy Time of Year

We are now in the middle of an extremely busy time of year. I encourage all parents to read the school newsletter carefully and to ask their child/ren if they have received any notes on a regular basis so that they are up to date with the many happenings which will take place within our school over the next few weeks. Please speak to your child/ren’s teacher if you are unsure of upcoming events or require further information.

Red Cross Friendship Afternoon Tea Christmas Celebrations Students in the K – 2 choir, recorder group and the Yrs 3-6 choir visited the Red Cross and CWA over the last two weeks to perform at their Christmas celebrations. Well Done!

Year 3 Arrawarra Excursion

Last week our Year Three students had an enjoyable and informative day at the Arrawarra Headland exploring the rocky shores and learning about the significance of our local area to the Aboriginal people. Mark and Chantelle, our two guides, passed on a lot of information and knowledge. We were lucky enough to see a large turtle that had been stuck in a rock pool as the tide changed. We had a fantastic day.

A great day for all year three students. . .
