Board Election Nominations close on Wednesday 6th August. If you are interested in being on our Governing Board, please be in touch with any questions you may have. 

There are lots of colds, flus and winter bugs around at the moment. We appreciate your support in responding to symptoms and keeping your child/ren at home until they are well enough to return to school. In this way we are supporting the health of our teachers and other class members, and minimising the spread of the winter bugs. Thank you again for your support. 

Twilight Market Reminder – We are still collecting TOYS – what better way to de-clutter!! Send your good quality used toys into your classroom and earn house points (no McDonalds toys or soft toys please)
