Gotcha Draw

Dear Parents, Carers and Community Members,

Last Paper Bulletin!

This week will be the last time we print off paper copies of our Bulletin and

send home with students. In Term 2 the Bulletin will be completely digital and

will be able to be accessed via e-mail, Skoolbag App and the School website.

The Bulletin will still be published at the same time (Tuesday, even weeks). If

you have not provided the school with your e-mail address please phone or

come in and see our friendly office staff. By taking this initiative we are

helping create a greener environment for your children and saving money to

reallocate resources within the classroom.

Easter Parade

This year’s Easter Parade will be held on Thursday, 11th April in the COLA at

approximately 12:15pm. The students will parade their Easter hats or craft

and we would love to see family and friends come and enjoy the events with

their children.

Cross Country

What a fantastic morning our students had participating in the cross-country

event. The weather was perfect and the day ran very smoothly thanks to our

dedicated teachers and the support of some wonderful parents who assisted

on the day. Thank you to everyone who came and cheered on their children.

Congratulations to those students who have made it through to Zone, we wish

you the best of luck!
