Donated Furniture

We would like to thank Rotary Donations in Kind for collecting and distributing our old desks and chairs to children in developing countries, this is also a great incentive to reduce the impact on landfill.

Old Basketball Ring

A huge thank you to Grant Simpson (Lachlan’s dad – FV), for taking time out of his day to help Seumas Spark remove the old, disused basketball ring and pole! The school grounds are looking amazing and it’s wonderful to see the children enjoying the new basketball courts during recess and lunch.

Kids Matter Assembly

There will be no kids matter assembly this week, although students are still welcome to wear their house colour t-shirts.

Book Fair

Next week we have Book Fair returning for the second time this year. It is a special BUY ONE GET ONE FREE Fair where you are welcome to choose a free book to keep of equal or lesser value when you make a purchase. If you do not wish to receive a free book, you can choose to donate one to our school library.  The books arrive on Monday, so teachers will be able to visit with their classes to record wish lists and look at what is on offer.

The Book Fair is open in the Senior Building after school from Tuesday, 5 November to Friday, 8 November – 3.30pm – 4pm. EFTPOS facility preferred for payment, or correct cash as we will not have any cash for change.

Friendship Hands and Class Placement 2025

Later this week teachers will be sending home a small friendship hand for each child in Prep to Year 5 to complete, by recording 5 friends that they think would be a good fit in their class next year. We will be continuing with composite classes, so students are able to write the names of friends from the linked year level for 2025 classes for Year 1-2, Year 3-4 and Year 5-6.  The teachers will be starting to complete their online surveys that support class development for 2025. We have a few weeks to be working on all of this and continuing with our school transition sessions through November to see how students interact and work with each other, to ensure we have classes that are balanced and will have success for everyone in 2025.

If you have any questions about transition or 2025 classes, please reach out to Glen or Kate to discuss. Please return Friendship Hands to your child’s class teacher by Friday, 15 November.
