End of Year Picnic
Students and staff have been actively preparing for our End-of-Year Picnic celebration, scheduled for Wednesday, 11 December on our undercover Basketball Court. Our dedicated School Council will be hosting a complimentary ‘Sausage sizzle’ to begin the evening, ensuring a delicious start to the festivities, and families are welcome to bring their own ‘picnic’.
To help ensure a successful evening for all, please support us by:
- adhering to the seating plan so that people who will be sitting on picnic rugs on the ground are closest to the stage with those on chairs sitting behind them in the allocated area.
- reminding your children that they are to sit with their class for the duration of the evening. Once students have performed, they will return with their class to the area allocated to them and remain with their class under the supervision of their teacher.
- seeing the classroom teacher at the end of the evening to collect your child.
We look forward to seeing you all!
Camp information 2025
As families begin to budget and plan for next year, we thought it would be beneficial to give parents and carers advance notice of the dates and approximate costs for camps in 2025. Camp costs have increased significantly over the last few years due to increases to the cost of buses, catering, venue prices and camp staff.
Please note that these are approximate costs based on 2024 costings and may vary next year.
Camp Name |
Approximate cost (based on 2024 prices) |
Dates |
Year 2 Sleepover | $20 | 14 November |
Year 3 Camp – The Ranch | $200 | 4 and 5 September |
Year 4 Camp – Golden Valleys | $365 | 15 October to 17 October |
Year 5 Camp – Urban Camp | $430 | 29 April to 2 May |
Year 6 Camp – Wilson’s Promontory | $395 | 5 May to 8 May |
Health and Hygiene
Over the past week, we have had students presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms. To help minimise the spread, additional cleaning has been completed, and the advice we have received from the health department is to increase handwashing. Everyone should wash their hands thoroughly with soap and warm running water for at least 15 seconds. Thank you for supporting us by reminding children of this.
