Congratulations to all students who performed their speeches to their year group. You all did a fabulous job! Colour Run Students received information last week about our P & C/ SRC Colour Run being held on Sunday 10th November at 10.00am on the school grounds. Children may create a profile online and collect sponsors or enter on the day for a cost of $5.00. This event is open to the whole school community. https://schoolfundraising.com.au/ Respectful, Safe Learners Our students have been working very hard since returning to school after the holidays and have received 1000 ‘Striving Higher” tickets. This means extra play today. Great effort kids! School Captain Elections Our 2020 leadership elections are being held on Monday the 18th November. The nomination process commences this week. Students who are nominated will wear a name badge and have their photos displayed in the courtyard.

LIBRARY NEWS

It is great to be back in the library after a short period of absence. Mrs Guihot has done a fabulous job while I was away and the library looks terrific. The term is flying by and soon it will be the end of the year – BUT students still have time to borrow a couple of more times before close off. Please encourage your little one to bring a bag and borrow. Nichole Wade Teacher Librarian
