UNIFORM SHOP OPENING HOURS DURING TERM TIME ~ Monday - 8.30am to 9.15am ~ Thursday - 8.30am to 9.15am (2.15pm to 3.15pm only if assembly is on)

STEP-UP DAY
All students will enjoy progressing to their next year level on Friday 30th November. We will endeavor to place our classrooms in sequential order on the upper level. This will in most cases mean a change of room for the teacher rather that the students! This is under collaborative discussion with the teachers involved. The Year 2 class will be situated in the ‘old music room’ which is to be refurbished over the holiday break. This will allow our Year 2 students to remain on the ‘ground’ level and near their Year 1 friends.

SWIMMING CARNIVAL
The annual swimming carnival is on Monday, December 3 commencing at 9am at the Glennie Aquatic Centre. All students received a note from Mrs Coggan with the details for the day. All parents, grandparents are asked to join us for this great event of competition and fun for our students. Many thanks to Mrs Coggan for organising this event.
