Sharing of Learning We would like to thank all the parents and caregivers who visited the school yesterday afternoon so our students could share their learning with you. Thank you for the very positive comments you made to encourage the students. It was great to see such support from our school community. AIMS Games As you can see from the AIMS Games report our students had a successful week and learnt much from the experience. I would like to thank the parents who supported the trip and Ms Karin Doull and Mr Jonathon Dawson who organised the trip. Orientation Visits These have been completed this week. Thank you to the schools who participated. If there any families who still wish to visit the school please do not hesitate to contact us to make an appointment to tour the school.
