YEAR ONE SWIMMING

Commences next week. Living in Australia it is extremely important that our students learn to be safe in and around water. We have a fantastic swimming program at Artarmon that the students attend in Year One, continue into Year Two and can also access in Year Three through our sports programme. It is compulsory for our students to participate in this program.

HOT WEATHER

The weather is now heating up. Please ensure your child has a hat and a reuseable water bottle everyday. A good tip is to pop the water bottle in the freezer the night before for a refreshing, cold drink. 

COFFEE, CAKE AND CHAT

Teachers are looking forward to morning tea on the 5th of December to thank all our parent helpers for all their hard work over the year. We hope you can join us.

CAROLS NIGHT - Friday 6th December 6pm

Don't forget to save the date for our amazing carols night. Friday 6th December at 6pm. This is a great opportunity to celebrate the end of the year and festive season. Bring a picnic blanket, sit down, relax, socialise and enjoy some entertainment from our choirs and musicians.

Please complete the 'Re-enrolment' form if your child is in Year 3 to 5

All parents of band members in years 3 – 5 need to complete the online 'Re-enrolment' form to let us know whether your child is continuing in band next year. An email has been sent to all these parents with details. We need this to be completed by 22 November at the latest please, as it takes time to prepare the audition schedule. If your child is leaving band, or leaving the school, we need to know, so please take the time to indicate this on the form – it only takes you a second and really helps us.  Many thanks to the parents who have done it already!
