There will also be lollies and ice-blocks for sale, students are encouraged to bring some coins. Please make sure students have pockets or a wallet to keep their money safe. All parents are invited to attend and can purchase a sausage sandwich on the night and mingle outside on the grassed area while the students dance inside.

These are not compulsory, it’s completely up to parents if they would like to pay for these photos. Every child will have their photo taken regardless of whether they are paying.

NAPLAN is coming to an end with numeracy being held today and there will be two more catch up days on Thursday and next Monday, then the tests will be completed. Thank you to everyone for making sure their child was ready for the test and particularly to Mrs Pengilly for coordinating the testing program with the help of Ms Toovey and classroom teachers.
