Message from The Principal

Hello everyone,

As we fast approach the end of the year, our

students are finishing off all their classroom

work in preparation for Parent / Teacher

Interviews, Semester 2 reports and Portfolios.

Please make sure you have returned your

child’s Red Portfolio and that you have made

an appointment for an Interview.

This Friday I will be taking our Year 6 students

on their annual Graduation Excursion to Wet &

Wild. It is a really special day and really sinks

home the fact that our school leaders are

about to leave our school as they head to High

School.

Next week, all students will be involved with

our Term 4 Swimming Scheme, so please

make sure you have sent in your child’s

Permission Note and label all their clothing in

preparation.

In the final week we have 3 big days. Concert

& Presentation Night on Monday 17th,

Indonesian Feast and Miss Sue’s Farewell on

Tuesday 18th and Last Day activities on

Wednesday 19th. Please make sure you read

through the newsletter carefully to make sure

you know exactly what is happening and what

your child needs to participate in each event.

Have a great week!

Mr Coleman,

Principal
