Dear families

Book Week

What a wonderful week of stories, activities and dressing up. I think that this year’s dress up efforts were some of the best. Take a look at photos of the parade held on our oval in this week's newsletter.

Faction Athletics

Well done to everyone on a fantastic Faction Athletics Carnival. It was a great day filled with competition and lots of fun.

The results for the carnival were:

Congratulations to children who were awarded championships:

There are many people to thank.

Thank you to Mr Lee for all the work he put into the carnival to make sure that everyone had a wonderful day.

Thank you to the staff for providing advice, being flexible with classes, helping with weekly training sessions, setting up and packing away equipment, and giving lots of encouragement throughout the day. A special thank you to the office staff for their work at the carnival.

Thank you to Mr Tan, our gardener, for marking the oval for the day and helping with the preparation.

Thank you to Nicole and the canteen team for managing the day’s catering. Thank you also the many people who volunteered on the day.

Thank you to the families who were able to come and support their children and factions.

Finally, and most importantly, thank you to the children who participated fairly, cheered loudly, and entered the excitement of the carnival. We couldn’t have done it without you! 

Don't forget to look at all of the photos from the day in this newsletter.

Father’s Day Stall

Thank you to the P&C Association for our wonderful Father’s Day stall. As expected, nearly everything sold out.

Disco – Save the date

The P&C Association have set the date for the disco – Friday 28 October 2022. There will be K – Year 2 and Year 3-6 sessions with a Sensory Session in between. Information about the disco will be sent home soon.

The P&C works tirelessly for students, be it through events, such as the upcoming disco and Colour Run, and generous donations. The commitment of the volunteers has meant students have new equipment, a five-day a week canteen, raffles, stalls, and Camp funding. If you can attend a meeting or volunteer, you are very welcome. Every hand makes light work!

Education Assistants Appreciation Week

Last week we recognised the work of education assistants with chocolates. Our education assistants play a significant role in the education of students across all classes. They are the listeners, encouragers, supporters, wise counsellors, and educators who make a difference every day. Thank you for the vital work you do with your students and colleagues.
