Grade 5-6 Camp

It was with great pleasure that I accompanied the Grade 5-6 students to camp.  I was proud to be with them as they showed true care for each other and they appreciated the planning that had been undertaken to ensure they had a memorable time. Camp is always such a lovely thing to share as I get to know the children in a different environment.   

Whole School Assembly

Our next whole school assembly is on the 1st of April.  This is an early notification so that if you are planning to come you have plenty of time to organise to get here.  We love to see family and community at these events to help us celebrate the fantastic work of the students.

Huon and Channel Swimming Carnival

Congratulations to the students who participated in the Huon and Channel Swimming Carnival yesterday.  You were great ambassadors for our school demonstrating excellent school spirit.  Thank-you to Mr West and Deanne Murtagh for supervising the crew at the pool.
