Fathers/Special Person Day Stall Thank You

On behalf of the school and Parents & Friends can I take this

opportunity to thank families for their donations and gifts for

the stall last Friday. A huge thanks to our P&F representatives

for wrapping and selling the gifts at the stall. We hope all the

dads enjoyed their day and gifts. Total raised was $1336, of

which $200 will be donated to the Prostrate Cancer Foundation

and the remainder will go to our General Fundraising.

Sun Smart Reminder-‘It’s Hat Time of the Year Again’

A reminder to parents the school’s SunSmart policy requires

students to wear hats from this week. All students will be

required to wear their broad brimmed hats outdoors. Hats can

be purchased from the school uniform shop for $13. All

students without hats will need to be under the hat tree during

breaks.

NAPLAN Results

Confidential student NAPLAN reports will be sent home early
