As we get closer to the next holiday break, it is essential that students continue to attend school as they will be completely their end of term assessments and teachers will be starting to introduce content for the Term 4 units of learning.

Proud Day for Our Year 6 Indigenous Students

Last Thursday, nine students travelled to Townsville to participate in the Junior Indigenous Youth Parliament. Students delivered a prepared brief (one minute speech) on motions about Eminent Indigenous Australians or matters of local interest. Our students spoke passionately and confidently about the contributions of Sam Thaiday and Eddie Mabo, and the challenges for local Indigenous youth. This was a unique opportunity to learn about the parliamentary process, meet local and state Members of Parliament and hear about issues that matter from peers in other communities.

While at the venue, students were also lucky to meet and watch the Melbourne Storm football team do a warm up training session.

A special thank you to staff who supported the students to write and practice their one minute speech.  

Year 5 Camp Fundraising

Previously our Year 6 students attend camp at the beginning of their year. Through consultation, the camp has been moved to now being held for Year 5 students in Term 4. To support this change the Year 5 students have been fundraising. The Crazy Socks Day and the very successful Fancy Dress Disco held last week have raised approximately $1000. Thank you for supporting our students. 

Please Help Our Library

Currently we have 480 overdue books on loan to students. Please help us by searching with your child to find any books that may in ‘hiding out’ in your house.
