SCHOOL NEWS

Transition to School Playgroup

We are halfway through our Kindergarten Transition to School Program and it has been truly energising. Offering eight playgroup opportunities that allows the students and their families to begin building relationships with Mrs McEntee, their peers and Year 4 buddies as well as developing a strong sense of belonging to our community, even before they begin their first day at ‘big school’, is an important part of the transition process.

Uniform
Thank you for ensuring your children attend school each day in the correct school uniform. It is important that students wear their school hat to and from school each day. In the event that students do not have a hat at school, they will need to remain in the undercover areas of the playground during Lunch breaks. A reminder that students are to wear plain white socks with their sport uniform and wear predominantly white or blue joggers as per the Uniform Policy. Thank you for your support in upholding high expectations for wearing the correct uniform.

New Playground Equipment

We have purchased some new equipment for the students to enjoy during their lunch breaks. These include portable basketball hoops and a variety of balls for throwing and catching. The students from K-6 have been enjoying these new additions.
