It was our honour to present all of these students with their awards and positions. We look forward to working with the House Captains over the next year. Our silver and bronze award recipients will receive their certificates over the next week at Assembly and also in Access classes.

We have many more events coming up over the next few weeks, the first of these being another school tour for prospective 2021 students. This will be happening on Tuesday afternoon from 3.30pm - 4.30pm. If your child has signed up to volunteer their time for this we have sent home a permission & information form. Please ensure you complete this ASAP.

In week 6 we will have indigenous artist Kylie coming to the school to work with some students on an Art work to celebrate NAIDOC week. Kylie is also in the process of creating another piece for the school. Pictured below is her work in progress. We look forward to seeing this on display in our school upon its completion.

We are so close to the end of the school year and to celebrate our Foundation year we will be taking the students to Wet n’ Wild for our annual rewards day. We have sent home information and permission forms and look forward to a fun day on Monday week 8. Please keep an eye on the school Facebook page and your emails for other events that will pop up between now and week 10.
