From Lisa It was great to see so many mums, dads, uncles, cousins, grandparents, kids and even Tony the Crossing Supervisor at the Working Bee on Sunday. We had a huge clean up of the garden beds and footpaths in the front half of the school. I hope you have noticed the difference – it looks fabulous. Thank-you very much to all the families that attended: Olivia and Charlee’s family, Ivy and Lola’s family, Charlie and Harry’s family, Dyllan and Stevie’s family, Liam’s family, William’s family, Tony, Matilda’s family and Jordan and Maddison’s family.

The enviroment club, led by

our Green Team Captains –

Seth and Jett - has also

weeding and picking up

rubbish. Here is a link to a

fun, interactive game to

learn about recycling:
