Principal's Message
Dear Parents
I hope everyone is enjoying their SABBATH Week and making the most of the beautiful Spring afternoons. This week we received the results of the Annual Survey. I am looking forward to analysing the results and providing feedback to the community of our strengths and areas for continued growth. This year 143 parents responded to the survey.
Unfortunately with the current restrictions in place we have postpones our walkathon until next term. In its place, we will be holding another Wellbeing Day on Friday 11 September. The day will be filled with fun and games with a very special highlight to end the day. We are going to hold a mini colour run on the oval where the children will be sprayed with fine coloured powder. As it can be a little messy the children are to wear old casual clothes. To avoid the powder spreading everywhere the children are to bring a towel to wrap around themselves to travel home via car or bus. Children going to SMOOSH will need to bring a change of clothes. More detail later in the newsletter.

Water Safety and Swim Program cancelled for Term 4
This year we have elected to cancel our Year K - 2 Water Safety and Swim program. Due to ongoing uncertainty around sporting events schools will and will not be able to offer in Term 4, I feel it is in our best interest to cancel our program for 2020. I trust you will support this decision in the interest of your child's health and safety and the cost to families at a difficult time for many.
Continue to stay safe and healthy.
