Welcome back to all returning students and their families, and, a special welcome to all new families to our school community.

Could all parents please check to make sure your child is not attending school with a neck chain.

These do get in the way when games are played and can be broken during playtimes which adds an emotional distress level that can be avoided and just like when we were all at school - no jewellery thank you.

For the upcoming swimming/surfing programme - looking ahead - please ensure your child has a rashie for their time in the water and sun.

A swimming bag - sun rashie, towel, togs, sunscreen and if needed goggles.

The details of the swimming for Prep to Year 5 and for Surf Awareness for Year 6 will be sent home to parents as soon as the costs have been confirmed.
