“Students of the Week”
Learning Ladder
Our transition to 2017 Kindergarten program
(Learning Ladder) will begin next term. We already
have a large number of students enrolled and
ready to start this exciting journey with Mrs Shirley
Wells and Elise Kachel (SLSO) next term.
If you know of any children that will be starting
school next year who haven’t yet contacted our
school, please encourage them to do so. We want
all our students to have access to this fabulous
program.
Have a great week!

P&C Blackboard
Our school is a Polling Venue for the elections on
Saturday 2nd July. Our P&C will be holding a
sausage sizzle fundraiser on the day. We will also
have cakes/slices for sale on the day. We would
appreciate donations for our stall, please drop
them into our school on Friday 1st July.
5c Fundraiser - throughout Term 3 our P&C will be
holding a 5c fundraiser. Each classroom will have
a jar which can be filled with 5c coins. Every week
a classroom tally will be displayed. At the end of
the term the class who has raised the most money
will win a prize. So start looking for 5c coins, under
the couch, in the car and bring them in for Term 3.
Thank you
