23rd August, 2016 – Week 6 – Term 3

Canberra Excursion The children have arrived safely in Canberra, after the long overnight trip on Sunday. Yesterday they visited the National Capital Exhibition Centre, the Mint, High Court and the Australian Institute of Sport. Today they are visiting Parliament House and the Electoral Commission. Early to bed tonight as they are off to Perisher tomorrow for a day in the snow.

Lismore Performing Arts Festival

All the best to the students who are performing at the Lismore Performing Arts Festival over the next few

days.

Attendance – Every minute counts

When your child misses 20 minutes a day that equals 1 hour and 40 minutes of learning each week, which is

nearly 2 and half weeks per year. Therefore, from Kindy to Year 12, that is nearly a year of school. Your child’s

best learning time is at the beginning of the day……School starts at 9.15am……. DON’T BE LATE.

Father’s Day Gifts

Father’s Day gifts will be on sale at the canteen from Monday, 29th August. Prices range from $2.00 to $5.00.
