Stage 1 will also be having a sprinkler day next week on Monday as part of our PBL Reward system and children are to bring their swimmers, towel and a pair of thongs with them.

Stage 3 will be having a period at the pool as part of their class parties and will also need swimmers and a towel and $2.00 entry fee into the pool. During the break the school will have several things happening with the installation of a fence on the south eastern side of the school and the continued installation of sound proof glass in the infants buildings. We are also expecting major tiling work in the toilets during the break. I would like to thank Ms Hyde who has been with us on Year 1 and wish her the best as she pursues further studies in 2015 at University. We are sure to have Ms Hyde in during next year so we will keep in contact and hopefully have Ms Hyde back with us in the future. I would also like to thank Ms Parker for her outstanding
