Greetings
We have had a busy and exciting start to Term 3! We all enjoyed our recent trip to the Zoo courtesy
of The Warehouse and Richies Buses. Our special thanks to parent helpers for their help on the day.
Choir tickets are available from the office. Adult tickets are $10, children $5 or a concession for 2
adults and 2 children $25.
Our netball teams recently did well at the netball tournament. The highlight was our Year 5 girls
team came 2nd overall. Well done though to all the girls!
We also had the Safe to School Programme in the middle and senior school last week. We learnt
valuable information about keeping safe around bikes, scooters, trains and walking to school

Coming Up:

A big thank you to Pub Charity, Happy Days

and Tactics Sports Bar for our recent grant.
We were able to buy a portable sound
system for the hall. We are so grateful to
them for their support now we can hear!!
