These will include a free bbq, a jumping castle and

‘Bubble Soccer’. There is no cost and we encourage

all families and children to come along.

will be involved from 11.30 - 1.30pm while

the older students in 3/4 & 5/6 will be

involved from 9.00—1.30pm. Parents are

welcome to stay for a free bbq lunch at

Meet the Teacher Chats Thankyou to all of the parents who came to school

on Tuesday afternoon to meet their child’s teacher.

It was a great opportunity to check in on how the

year had started and discuss the individual needs of

each child. If you were unable to make it, please

make contact with your child’s teacher to organize

another suitable time. We will let you know as soon as arrangements can be

made to meet with Mr. Noble & Mr. Harding.
