Year 6 Camp
I would like to thank our teachers, parent helpers and students for their outstanding efforts on the Year 6 Wilsons Promontory camp. The children were spectacular, and all reports were that a wonderful time was had!
Harmony Week
This week we recognise Harmony Week. This event allows us to celebrate Australia’s cultural diversity. It is about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone. Classes have had a focus on this throughout the week and Year 1 created a piece of artwork that communicates the message that ‘we all belong.’
Boneo Market
A huge thankyou to our wonderful parents and staff who volunteered at the market last weekend. We made over $1000 serving bacon and egg rolls. Three times a year we also receive funds from the market takings. This term, it was a cheque for $8000. Sarah Thompson and Sarah Brown have joined the Market Committee representing the school and assist with the running of the community event. A huge thankyou from the school for dedicating your time to support this significant school fundraiser. The Redhill Bakery, Lucy Hubbard’s family have kindly offered to sponsor the school by donating all of the rolls for each of the markets. This is a very generous donation.
