REMEMBRANCE DAY

On Tuesday the staff and students had a Remembrance Day ceremony to remember the sacrifice of those men and women who have died or suffered in wars and conflicts, and all those who have served during the past 100 years helping to keep Australia a safe place to live. Our school captains, Cade Cook and Dylan Matser, accompanied Leanne Edwards to the Grantville ceremony to represent the school at that ceremony. 2015 SCHOOL CONTRIBUTION Today we have posted to every family that will have a student here next year information regarding our school contribution next year. Please take the time to read this information and please ask at the school office if you require further information. As there will be no E.M.A. next year it is important that families know what fees will be payable and when they need to be paid by so that they can start making preparations for this. Payments are due by Friday 27th February 2015.

4th TERM SWIMMING PROGRAM

Our program has now commenced. Students will swim twice per week during their PE sessions and 3-6’s will also swim during their sports session. The timetable is printed below so that you know which days your child will need to bring their swimming gear. The swimming program is a user pay program and families need to have paid the swimming levy for their child/ren to partici-pate. Notices have gone home to those families who still need to pay this levy.
