Principal’s Message

WELCOME BACK I trust that our families had a safe and happy Winter break. I take this opportunity to officially welcome Mrs Bailey to our team as she takes over 3D for the remainder of the year. Term 3 is a very busy term so I encourage you to refer to the calendar sent home last week and/or the one included in each edition of the newsletter to keep up to date with the activities and events.

2020 KINDERGARTEN We are currently taking enrolments for our 2020 Kindergarten cohort. If you have a child who will turn 5 by 31 July 2020, please come up to the office and collect forms. It is important that once the forms are completed, they are returned to the school as soon as possible to

ensure your child is included in the 2020 planning. If you have any questions, please contact the school.

OPEN DAY

This year our Education Week Open Day is being held on Thursday 8 August from 12.10pm until 1.10pm. We also invite you to stay on for a picnic lunch with your child/ren. We look forward to seeing you on the day!

GATES AND PLAYGROUND It is important for you to note that children are not supervised in the mornings until 8.30am. We do however open the front gate at 8.15am each morning to allow children to wait on the school premises. It is important that

children are not dropped off at the school until this time to ensure they are adequately supervised. Additionally, I remind any parents/carers who are in the playground before school to wait behind the blue line to allow my staff to effectively supervise the 680 students in the playground.
