Newsletter Term 3, Week 9
It’s really nice to see the sun today! Everybody is
ready for a break so hopefully the weather is kind
through the holidays!
Exciting things happening at school over the
holidays! Rooms 2 and 3 are finally getting a bit of
a spruce up. Both classrooms will have the skylights
replaced and doors modernised, new wall coverings
and fresh paint and new carpet. Room 3 will also
have windows replaced. This will not all be
completed over the two weeks break so both classes
will be rehoused to the hall for the first week back
after the break.

Some panels of outside cladding on Rooms 4 and 5
will be replaced in the second week of the holidays
but this should make no difference to the rooms
when school resumes.
The leak above Room 1 should also be fixed. All in
all the school will be a very busy place over the
holiday break!
Thank you to Troy Savage for coming in last week
for Girls Only football. His voluntary contributions
to school are much appreciated by staff and
students.
The PTA would appreciate each family sending
along grocery items for the Pet day grocery raffle
as well as a bottle for the Mystery Bottle raffle. The
more items the more exciting!
All children will be involved in craft activities for
the first two days back next term. A note detailing
what each child is required to bring will go home
tomorrow. Please talk with your child’s teacher if
you have any questions.
Congratulations to Flynn O and Molly Y for their
success at their Speech Board exams last week.
Both achieved Honours+. Good luck to Matthew W
who has his exam on Monday. All three students
have had speech tuition at school from Chris
Cameron.
Thank you to all who have contributed to the
school this term – volunteers for PMP, helpers for
Discovery, drivers to events, coaches for sports
teams, supporters…we couldn’t do it without you!
