Saturday, 10 December, 2016

Dear all,

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding with our extraordinary week this week!

Only a few announcements / reminders as we head into our final week of the calendar year.

Next Friday final Learning Celebration

Next Friday 16th December - 8.45 - 9.30am we will host the Elementary Choir with the performance they prepared for the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony which unfortunately had to be cancelled.  Parents are invited to this performance, and this is also in my Principal’s notes today.

All classes are welcome to this final celebration of 2016, and at this time we will also farewell any leaving students. We will get them to stand up in their seats - or if they are keen, could come out the front and tell us where they are leaving to.

Secret Santa

Keep the lovely spirit of Christmas going! Thanks to all involved.  A reminder to bring a final gift in for your Santa on Friday 16th.

Upcoming date changes:

PK - Grade 2 Field Day - Change of Date

Our PK - Grade 2 Field day which is on the calendar for January 19th has been changed to Friday 27 January.  This is also a HS Discover Day which allows us the opportunity to work together with HS students to host this great event for our youngest students.

G3-5 Field Day - Change of Date

Due to needing to reschedule ASIAC soccer - the G3-5 Field day will move forward one day to Thursday 19th January.
