Carols on the Oval - 5 December
This year our Kinder, Year 1 and 2 children will lead our Carols on the Oval. This is an evening for our families to gather for a picnic evening meal, watch the nativity story and join in carol singing. The evening will commence with families gathering from 5.30pm for dinner and the singing to commence at 6.15pm. Years 3 to 6 and the Japanese Choir will also share in the singing of Christmas Carols.
Orders for a sausage sizzle are available on Qkr!. Don't miss out as we need to close off the ordering on Wednesday to allow for supplies to be purchased. Canteen drinks and snacks will also be on sale. Volunteer help is be needed with cooking and serving from 4.15 pm. Please email the office if you can lend a hand or contact our Canteen Manager, Sam Manning.
Your tech gift guide for the holiday season
Be smart and secure when choosing tech gifts for children and young people this year with our eSafey Gift Guide. The Guide helps inform parents and carers about what to look out for with tech gifts and provides practical advice on how to stay safe, including setting strong passwords, turning off location settings and limiting the amount of personal information shared.
Check the safety of popular tech gifts like drones, smart toys, smartphones, tablets and even wearables for pets before making your purchases this holiday season.
Musicorp 2020
On Tuesday, around 30 students gathered in the Music room to hear a demonstration from Mr Stephen McAlpine from Musicorp in the hope to inspire a school band. Many thanks to Dion, Paige and Mary for sharing your talent and dedication with the students and showing them how to play a variety of brass and woodwind instruments.
For more information please contact Alissa Pearson, our Creative Art Teacher or see the notes stand for a pamphlet to enrol.
Holiday TLC for our school gardens
With a hot summer predicted, we desperately need volunteers to help with watering over the holiday period. The more volunteers (parents or grandparents) we have, the more we can spread the load. If you are able to spend some time watering at the school in December/January, please contact Caroline Weller (email: c.weller@internode.on.net), indicating what dates you are available. We will draw up a roster before the end of the year. Families can pick and take home any ripe produce available when they water – what a bargain!
Mango Delivery
Mango orders are arriving Monday. Collection to occur from the office between 3.30 pm - 4.00 pm on Monday or Tuesday morning from 8.30 am. Many thanks to Michelle Bowman for coordinating this delicious opportunity for families.
Bush Fire Appeal
Thank you to all the children and families who supported our Bush Fire appeal, I know your generosity will be very much appreciated. We are just finalising our donations and will close Qkr tomorrow for any parents who may still wish to make a donation.
May God's blessing be with you
