Writers Showcase - 5C & 5T

held their Writers Showcase

yesterday. Students shared a

range of writing

pieces they've completed

thank you to family members

who came along to listen.

Principal’s Message:

Quote: “You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than a

year of conversation,” – Plato.

Some points to note at this time of year: Thank you to all staff, students and community for a great Presentation

Evening last night at the Senior Campus auditorium. Also another thank

you to the staff at the campus for allowing us to use your premises and assist us with access.

A reminder that candy canes and other foods are not to be shared at school. We have a number of students with allergies and we try to minimise any reactions to those who are susceptible to reactions.

With less than two weeks until the last day of the school year for 2017,

students are being engaged with many enjoyable activities in class. We do encourage attendance at school until the last day – Friday15 December.
