Diary Welcome to Week 7 of Term 4.

I will keep this short and sweet!

As you all know, Mr Potter and Stage 3 are in Canberra! After a long drive, I am sure

everyone is having a great time.

The end of year is fast approaching! Make sure you read the calendar each week as

there is lots happening in the coming weeks.

Our Kindergarten Transition Program, Kickstart, finished last week with a Teddy Bear’s

Picnic. The children had a great a time as did Mrs Daley and Miss Campton!

Packs have been sent home with the pre-schoolers for them to practice writing before

next year. If any parents still have questions they can call the school and we will be

more than to answer them.

The whole school has been busy rehearsing for our Family Fun Night. The night is sure to

be big! Make sure you make room in your diary for this night!

A beautiful Remembrance Service was held in our school last Tuesday. The service was

led by the very passionate Miss Baker. Here Miss Baker spoke of the sacrifices service

men and women made for this wonderful country we live in. Classes then laid their

handmade wreaths and poppies under the flagpoles.

Have a great week everyone!

Lee.
