Principal’s Report

Science Expo Today Truscott Street held our exciting Science Expo. This exciting opportunity has been made possible through the efforts of Dr Carolyn Gray and Mrs Glendinning and the generosity of some of our talented parents. I would like to thank Mr Gizbar, Mr Spiers, Dr Lee-Waddell and Dr Tran-Dinh for giving up their time for the benefit of our students. Our students had the opportunity learn about microorganisms, polymers, energy transformation, museum bones and sunspots. Play Equipment The play equipment on top grass will be closed from this week as it undergoes a transformation. The P and C has worked hard to secure part funding for this project. Special thanks go to Kristy Anderson and Carolyn Gray for all the work they have put into the application. Enrolments 2017

game this Friday. Coaches will send a note home

P&C News

Band News At the start of Term 3 we switched band providers, so our band, percussion and guitar groups are now all provided by Intuition Studios under the leadership of David Thirgood. We were able to keep the music classes at the same times for the remainder of the year but we have moved band practice to Wednesday mornings at 8am. The kids are really enjoying the new conductor and music! David is really big on the kids performing and so we shall be having our annual band evening on Friday 9th September - we hope you can come along and support our lovely band, percussion and guitar groups.
