However, the sun began shining just as we headed outdoors and everything became bright and colourful. The students cheering for one another was heartening, mixing with laughter, joy and fun. It was fantastic to see the hard work of some of our wonderful students and parents fall into place and be enjoyed by all. Thank you to all who helped in the lead up, on the day and the huge fundraising effort by our student and families.
“The fun run was held at Ferny Creek Primary School on Friday last week. Finn, Lincoln and Oliver made a super fun slip and slide, Lexi and Mel made pool noodle tunnels to run through. Maddie, Eloise and Lily made a ball pit and ladder run, and Thomas and Bailey made an obstacle course with a springboard, trampoline and some hurdles. It was so much fun to run and get colourful! “ – Lexi
Have a great week, Anni Smart PRINCIPAL
THANK YOU - Halloween on the Green A huge thank you to everyone in our school community who helped to make Saturday a wonderful success.
We had such dismal weather, but the day had such a wonderful community vibe and everyone looked like they had a ball.
Thank you so much to the incredible team who created the mind-blowing Hansel and Gretel haunted house. To the parents, Grade 6 students and Lyn from After the Bell who helped on our drinks stall, the many families who baked scrumptious goodies for the cake stall and those who also have children at Sassy kinder and helped across both our school and the kinder. So much effort from everyone involved and it is truly appreciated.
And... thank you to the many families who came along and supported the day, it was delightful seeing so many familiar faces. We hope you had a wonderful time!
The aim of Halloween on the Green (hosted by The Philanthropic Collective) is to create a safe and inexpensive event for families from all walks of life to enjoy. The schools, kinder and community groups involved receive a split of the funds raised on the day.
Zooper Doopers will be sold in the multi-purpose room for 50cents at lunch times on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning Monday 4th November.
All money raised will go towards Grade 6 Graduation.
Thank you
Thank you to the Thomas Family (Ashley 5/6 C) for the donation of books to the Library.
Thank you, Beth.

Please Note:
There are no Lunch Orders available on Tuesdays.
Notices due in:
Camp for 3/4s and 5/6s, and Chesterfield Farm for Foundation.
Eureka Skydeck for Grade 1/2s is due in on the 8th November.
This term we will be having our last Book Fair for the year! It will be held from
Thursday 7th November, in the afternoon, until the morning of Thursday 14th
November. Book Fair is a great way for you to select books that your children
are interested in and to help raise some money for our school at the same
time. We need as many volunteers as possible to assist with sales.
As we are getting to closer to Christmas we are looking at having a session
open to parents during school hours. This will only be possible if parents are
able to help. If you are happy to help at any time please see Sam or put your
name down on the roster in the office.
Thank you for your support.
