From the Principal
Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to Term 4 - we look forward to the children returning tomorrow, Tuesday 11 October.
Last term ended with a big splash of colour at the Colour Fun Run. A big thanks to our P&F and parent helpers for all the hard work that went into this fun + fundraiser. It was a great community event.
This is a busy week, with school photos and swimming trials. Please take note of the schedules and logistics below.
God Bless,
Allen McMahon
