Dear Families,

Thank you to all the parents and friends who joined us for the Assembly Extravaganza last week. The outstanding quality of work and performances was a testament to the dedication and creativity of our students and staff.

We are thrilled to have our Early Childhood Athletics Carnival (Kinder to Year 2), taking place tomorrow on the school oval from 1:30 pm to 2:50 pm. We warmly invite all parents, younger siblings, and friends to come along and cheer on our students.

Important Upcoming Events:

Our Garden Program is hosting its first-ever produce stall on Thursday, 19th December, from 2:45 pm to 3:15 pm under the Oak Tree. Fresh parsley, rhubarb and spring onions, bundled for $2.50, will be available for purchase. Cash is appreciated, but Eftpos will also be available. A huge thank you to Simon and all the students who have contributed to revitalizing our garden this term. It has been wonderful to see our students gain valuable skills and experience in establishing a thriving vegetable garden.

Thank you for your ongoing support as we wrap up an exciting and eventful school year.

Warm regards,
Michael

We will be hosting a special thank you morning tea for our wonderful parent volunteers and community volunteers who have assisted classrooms and the school in so many ways during 2024. 

Please be our guest at the Morning tea, tomorrow, the 11 December 2024, from 10.00am  - 11.00am in the Library

This term we have been learning about space as part of science. When Mr Anderson was working with us, we made moons out of ballons using paper mâché. We then turned these moons into planets, comets and meteoroids. They are displayed in our classroom from closest to furthest from the sun. Please feel welcome to come in and have a look!

On Friday 6^th December, we celebrated our final LiL session of the year with an excursion to the Sustainability Learning Centre. Our youngest students had a fabulous time participating in bush play, searching for bandicoot holes and listening to stories! The bus ride was also another highlight of the day!

We hope all our LiL families have a wonderful time during the school break and can’t wait to see you all back in 2025!

Mrs Ellerton
