TRANSCRIPT
JUNIOR SCHOOL STUDENTS Please put an extra set of clothes in your child’s bag if possible. Some children are needing an extra set with the wet weather.
Dear Parents/Caregivers Hope you have all been keeping well over the past fortnight. We have had a number of staff and children away as the ‘flu bug’ continues to affect a large number of people. Please keep your children home if they are showing flu like symptoms as this is a nasty bug which seems to keep people at home for at least 3 days. We are all enjoying Spring even though the weather has been very variable. The School choir has been busy practising with Miss Jones for their performance next Tuesday night in the annual ILT Sing Out at the Civic Theatre. It will be a great night so if you have the chance, try and get along to enjoy the performances. Regards Wendy Ryan Principal
