PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
WELCOME TO TERM 4
I would like to welcome all our students and all our parents back to Term 4. I hope everyone has had a great two week break which was safe and restful for all and gave our parents and students time to reconnect with each other.
We finished Term 3 with a flurry of laughter, smiles and colour due to Carnivale. The photographs of the day, say it all. Once again it was a fantastic day which proved to be a great way of bringing together our school community and raise much needed funds by the P&C, to be invested in buying resources and improving the facilities in the school. This year we managed to raise a total of $ 6 648 from the sale of the armbands. We will be letting you know soon what this money will be going towards.
Days like this don’t just happen it takes a huge group of people coming together to make it work. I want to take this opportunity to thank all these people from our P&C representatives, parents, community members and staff who worked tirelessly to make it such a successful day and end of term on a high.
WHAT IS HAPPENING TERM 4
I have outlined all the activities which are occurring over Term 4. It is important that bags are checked for notes and notes are returned by the due date.

PLANNING FOR 2020
This week a note went home about Intentions for returning to school in 2020 asking parents and guardians to complete and return to their child’s teacher by Friday 1 November. The completion of this note is important as it helps us with the planning process for 2020. The number of students we have enrolled in the school impacts on our staffing allocation.
Having this information allows us to work out the number of classes we will be able to have and helps us avoid possible disruption of classes in 2020.
