Carpark Pickup

You may have noticed that in the carpark we now have designated areas for students (in year levels) to sit during afternoon pick up. We encourage students to move straight to these areas in the afternoon. This will ensure that students are safe and we know where they are at all times. Today I sent home signs with students' last names on them. We ask that you place these in the front of your windscreen so that we can try to make cars flow more quickly through carpark pickup. 

When picking up your children after school and remaining near the car park, please make sure they stay in close proximity to you. It can be difficult to monitor all students in the car park area at times, so we appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

Reconciliation Week

We will celebrate Reconciliation Week in Week 5 (28th - 31st May). The theme for Reconciliation week this year is ‘Now more than ever’. It is a reminder that no matter what, the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders people will - and must - continue. Now more than ever we need reconciliation. Mrs Tabitha May has organised activities for our students to partcipate in next week that reflect the theme of Reconciliation Week. 

Below is a choir performance for Reconciliation Week. Thank you to Mrs Kate MacDonald and the school choir for their singing of "White Fella, Black Fella" by the Warumpi Band.  

Reconciliation Australia asked our school Choir to sing this song.
