Dear mums, dads, carers and colleagues

Another fantastic week of opportunities at school this week.  Headlining the week has been our 2025 cross-country carnival, with Year 6 day camp activities and Year 5 surf safety excursions close behind.

Cross-country carnival

Congratulations to everyone involved in the carnival on Tuesday.  The racing was competitive and the house and team spirit was alive and pumping.  Thank you to the staff, led by Ms Findlay & Mr Burrows, for creating this opportunity for our children, to Mr Barnes for preparing the oval, the set up and pull down teams and to the P&C for their continued support across the day.  A special thank you to all of the families who came along to cheer.  It was lovely to have you join us.  

Runners warm up before their event

Traffic around the school

Traffic at drop off and pick up will always be very busy.  I ask that all motorists remain courteous to others and respectful of neighbouring properties.  

Please remember:

• Solid yellow lines: These lines indicate that parking or stopping in these areas is prohibited. Stopping or parking on the yellow lines can create traffic congestion and pose a hazard to pedestrians, particularly our children.
• Parking across or near driveways: Sometimes drivers may park too close to residential driveways, which can block access. Please leave a minimum of 1 metre from any driveway when parking near the school entrance.

Traffic safety is important.  We must all get it right.  A car does not need to be moving to cause a problem for children.  Patience and respect will always help you make the best motoring decisions.  

Start to think cooler

I usually refer to ANZAC Day as the point in the year when the season begins to change and the cooler weather is usually close by.  Your children will need their winter uniform additions - pullover for the blues uniform and tracksuit for the sports uniform. 

Please order well before the first chilly day as stocks will be limited.  Remember to layer up under the uniform on colder days - keeping in mind that all classrooms are air-conditioned and will be lovely and warm.  

Keep up the reading routines at home

Kind regards
