Deeds not words.
Special Principal’s Award Recipients Lunch All Special Principal Award recipients are awarded with a special lunch at Cafe Clarence with Mrs Cavanagh on Thursday 15th Dec. Letters of invitation have been sent to all the students involved.
Class Parties On Thursday 15th December students will have class parties from 2:15—3:15 at school. Students are asked to provide a plate of food to share with their friends.
Car Park Safety As a school we are very lucky to have 2 car parks within our school grounds. This of course brings other risks for picking and dropping off children. As a school our policy for student safety is that ALL children K-6 be picked up by an adult in the school grounds. No child is to go to the car park without a parent or carer. If you are running late students will walk around to the front of the school with the bus/bike/walkers and wait with the teacher on duty until they have been picked up. Thank you for keeping our children safe.
