Spell A Thon. . . Earlier this year the Year One and Two raised an amazing $1946.50 through the spell a thon day. Thank you to parents for all your generous donations. It was great to see the increase in all students High Frequency spelling results. We have been working behind the scenes to plan and design the courtyard foundations. We are ready now to employee somebody with landscaping skills to prepare the base work. This will involve levelling soil, building up the area, creating a retaining wall, and the form work for a sandpit. This stage will commence over the school holidays. We would love to tap in to the school community. The students are very excited to get this started so please contact the office tomorrow if you are interested in contributing to this work. Next term we will have a working bee to finish the project off. This will include spreading mulch, staining wood, laying pavers etc. Year One and Two teachers: Lynne Baird, Donna Johnstone, Alicia Perkins and Skie Arnold The preps raised $773.80 and are hoping to add a cubby area into their outdoor learning area with the money that they have raised.
