Good afternoon families,
What a busy start to Term 4 it has been and the term promises to only get busier!
Grandparents’ Day
Tomorrow is Grandparents’ Day. Families are welcome to join us 10am-12pm tomorrow for a special morning dedicated to the wonderful grandparents in our lives. Activities include choir and dance performances, class visits and a beautiful morning tea. All family members are welcome to join us.
Market Day
This Friday 3 November our Stage 3 children will be hosting a Market Day. Our Stage 3 children are raising money for the Cancer Council and to make a contribution towards the 2023 Year 6 formal and 2024 Year 6 shirts. All children are asked to wear mufti clothes, purchase tokens to spend at the stall and bring along a gold coin donation. Thank you for supporting this event and our Stage 3 children.
Enrolments for 2024
Our school is currently planning for 2024 and are doing our best to anticipate student enrolment numbers. If you know of any new family moving to our area in the coming months who have children who will be enrolling at our school, please encourage them to make contact with our office as soon as possible.
Alternatively, if your family is moving out of our area and your children will not be attending our school in 2024, please also inform our office.

Safe driving on Phillips Avenue
It is essential that all community members show commitment to student, staff and family safety by following the road rules.
The speed limit of 40km/h is to be adhered to.
Check that no pedestrians are using the children's crossing before driving through it.
Follow the parking restrictions. At the front of the school, it is a 2 minute parking zone. This zone is simply to drop children off or pick children up. No car is to be parked in this zone. Drivers must remain in vehicles in this zone.
U-turns on Phillips Ave are to be made at the turning bay past the school.
No parents/carers are to be using our driveway. The driveway is for staff and contractor use only.
It is essential that drivers behave respectfully and responsibly to ensure our children safely enter and exit school grounds each day.
I thank all community members for your assistance in keeping all pedestrians around our school safe.
Enjoy the rest of the week,
Michelle Barnes
Principal
