Student Citizenship Awards 2018

This year our Education Week Citizenship Awards have been awarded to students who not only demonstrate a commitment to our school pillars of being SAFE, RESPECTFUL and a LEARNER but also consistently demonstrate KINDNESS to their peers, staff and volunteers in their everyday interactions.

Unfortunately, especially for the parents who came for the assembly, the rains came through just at the crucial time and we had to move to an indoor assembly, where we announced our citizenship winners over the public address system.

This year’s Citizenship Award winner consistently uphold the values of the school and are well deserving of this recognition. I am very pleased to announce this years’ recipients.

CONGRATULATIONS are extended to:

If you can make it, the students and staff are looking forward to sharing what they have been working on with you.

Our Art Program Needs Your Help!

Our students are busy creating wonderful art works during visual art

and we are hoping you may be able to assist!

We are in need of recycled buttons, small cogs, washers, nuts and bolts,

springs etc to use in our Steam Punk creations.

Also we would be appreciative of any brightly colour wool scraps or half used

balls of yarn.

All donations will be greatly accepted and may be left at the art room.

Thank you

Infectious Disease

A student in Year 2 is currently receiving medical treatment which puts them at risk if they develop chicken pox or measles. The risk for this student can be reduced by receiving a special injection as soon as possible after coming in contact with these illnesses. It is very important therefore that you let us know immediately if your child develops chicken pox or measles. Your child is at no risk whatsoever from this situation, but the health and wellbeing of this student does depend on your help. Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.

School Banking

Student banking is Tuesdays. Please send along your bank book to the office.

Coles Dockets

Just a reminder to return all of the COLES dockets to school so that they can be counted in our total as soon as possible.
