ATHLETICS CARNIVAL CANCELLED

I sent a quick email this morning to advise parents that we were going to cancel the school athletics carnival. This carnival is held at E.S. Marks Field at Moore Park.

This area is in the City of Sydney council area that is now in a zone of concern  for covid.

Whilst Artarmon and surrounding areas are not in that zone, we decided it was not wise to take our students and teachers into the zone.

We hope to return to E.S. Marks field some time next term to complete the carnival.

TERM 2 SAUSAGE SIZZLE

Wow! 1500 sausages on a roll and containers full of watermelon. So many parents helping to support our school. It was a fantastic Monday.

Thanks so much everyone for all you do for our students
