Congratulations Netball & Soccer Teams! Netball Juniors won their division - Seniors finished in second, but beat the only

team they lost against on Friday. Soccer Jrs won their division and the Srs had a fabulous season, too. All of our players were

extremely proud of themselves and each other.

UNSW-ICAS Academic Competitions Once again students from Years 2 to 6 will have the opportunity to participate in the University of New South Wales International Competitions and Assessments for Schools program. Again this year, students in Yr 2 will only be able to sit the English, Mathematics, Science and Spelling competitions. Please note, this year for the first time the assessments are fully online (with the exception of the Years 3 & 4 Writing papers) and sitting dates will commence in Term 3. This means that parents must register and pay online by 31st July (Wk 2, Tm 3) for their choices. Parents/Carers must complete a separate online registration for each child.

Fabulous writing from our budding authors in 1W and 2E - So impressive!
