Lost Property
We are starting to experience some winter days with cool mornings, warming up to warmer days. As the mornings are cool though, students are coming to school with jackets and jumpers and then, by first break removing them. Please ensure that ALL your child’s winter items are well named, as at this time of the year we have a mountain of unnamed lost property.  Please check the purple lost property box (near the administration door) for any lost items

Student Council Update: Crazy Hair Day

Yesterday our school celebrated its very first Crazy Hair Day – and it was a huge success! The playground was a sea of colour, creativity and crazy styles as students and staff alike arrived with their most imaginative hairdos. From neon spikes to hair full of glitter and googly eyes, the effort and enthusiasm on display were amazing. 

Even better, the day helped raise awareness and support for our school chaplain, Chappy, who plays such an important role in the wellbeing of our students and school community. 

A big thank you to everyone who took part and made the day. Be sure to scroll through facebook to see all the standout styles!
