Water Damage to the Hall

Over the last few days with the intense weather, the school hall has unfortunately succumbed to water damage in the ceiling at the top level entrance. We are currently working with Department contractors to solve the issue and fix any damaged areas. We have sectioned off the top entrance above the stairs and there will be no access through these doors.

What this means for you and your children:

• The hall is still safe for students to use for school activities.
• Students and visitors will enter the hall from the side doors opposite the canteen.
• Easter Band Breakfast - Location changed to McMillan playground.
• Camp Australia are an external company and update the school and families daily in regards to their operational activities.

I would like to thank all the families for their understanding and patience during this week. Although, it has not been the best weather for standing at the gate each morning and afternoon, it has been comforting to speak with so many parents that are supportive of the school during a global pandemic and a 50 year flood.

Year 6 Canberra Camp

I would like to wish all the students and teachers who headed off to Canberra this morning the best of luck with their camp. A huge thank you to the teachers for leaving their families for a few days, to allow our students to have a wonderful experience.

This week, students from our school are undertaking an educational tour of the national capital. Students will be given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy.

The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributing funding of $30 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion.

Cross Country Carnival Postponed

Due to this week's inclement weather we have already decided to postpone next week's Cross Country carnival and move to our back up date of Tuesday, 27th April 2021.

Information regarding this carnival will be communicated to you at the start of Term 2.
