MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL Winter School Uniform With cold weather upon us, we are intent on ensuring that our students are comfortable and warm, whilst continuing to wear full winter school uniform. This is a key factor in ensuring ongoing success and consistency at our school. It assists us to prepare our students to behave and perform at the best and serves as a crucial preparation for future settings, such as high school, where uniform requirements are extremely rigid. We very much appreciate your support in this area.

Congratulations Congratulations to Isabel H in Year 5 who completed a 400m ocean swim, raising over $500 for students with Autism. What an amazing effort! To see one of our young students recognising the needs of others and contributing so significantly is really impressive and a timely reminder to us all of the value of helping others in need. On behalf of everyone at WWS, congratulations Isabel, we are so proud of you.

Have a great week everyone,

Matt Barr

Principal

Isabel is using her talents to make a significant difference in the lives of students suffering with autism. Earlier this year Isabel did the Coles Classic Ocean Swim and raised money for students at the Woodbury Autism Education and Research.

On Monday Isabel's generous donation of $535.00 was recognised with a special invitation to visit the staff and students at the facility. The money will go towards much needed equipment to support programs for students with autism. We are very proud of Isabel's efforts and caring nature.

Well done Isabel!
