TERM 4 UNIFORM CHANGE
A reminder to all families that starting Term 4, we will return to summer uniform. This means that ALL children must wear a hat for outside play. No hat no play, children who do not have a hat will need to play under the shelter, or in a shaded area out of the direct sun.
We encourage families to ensure all children are sent to school with a hat. New or secondhand hats can be purchased from the school office if they are lost or misplaced.
KINECT2DANCE
In Term 4 our students will be participating in the Kinect2Dance program which runs for the full term and culminates with a whole school performance. This year our performance will be held on our new deck, in front of our new build.

STUDENT ILLNESS
We currently have a large number of children and staff absent with a mixture of Gastro, Influenza, Whopping Cough and Covid-19. This has had a significant impact on our student numbers attending school, and also on our staffing, as many teachers have been absent struggling through illness.
I can not stress enough, to all of our families, to please monitor children for symptoms and please keep your child at home if they are displaying any symptoms of Gastro, Influenza, Whopping Cough or Covid-19. Where possible please ensure your child has been clear of symptoms for a least two days before sending them back to school.
We thank you for your support in keeping everyone in our learning community safe.
