We are almost at the end of what has been a very busy but productive term. I want to thank all our families for their support throughout the term. Whether it be in attending Book Week Parades and Open Afternoons, cheering us on at Athletics, ensuring incursions and excursions have your permissions and payments or making sure your child has had several different costumes for the variety of dress up and special days through the term. We thank you and appreciate the efforts you go to for our school and your child.
We have Concert still to come next week. Thank you to Trent Stephens and all our staff for their efforts in preparing for this event. Tickets are still on sale, so if you haven’t already done so, please jump on via the link in the newsletter below. We can’t wait to perform and end the term in a fun and entertaining way!!!
