FATHER’S DAY STALL

Special thanks to all families and children for your generous donations of presents. Special thanks to Mrs Fanella and her loyal group of parents who helped sell the gifts last Friday raising $1528.75 A fantastic effort. Stacey Fanella always does a magnificent job ensuring all the students have the opportunity to purchase a gift – with just under 650 students that is a very big task. Thanks to Stacey’s helpers Kylie Patterson, Sharron Ficarra, Belinda Cloake, Carly De St Germain, Michelle Bashar and Brianna O’Connor.

SCHOOL SHOWCASE CONCERT TUESDAY 20TH SEPTEMBER (EVENING) 7PM WEDNESDAY 21ST SEPTEMBER (MATINEE)

11:30AM Parents and grandparents are invited to our Annual Showcase Concert on 20th September at 7:00pm and 21st September at 11:30am (matinee). Tickets are $5 per person. All proceeds from the Showcase will be earmarked to subsidise and support the rising transport costs for all students in the Performing Arts groups concerts in 2012. In doing this we hope this will ensure children with talents in singing, drama and dancing are not excluded due to costs of buses.
