Netball

Congratulations to both our 5/6 netball teams who made the semi-finals last weekend. Our Year 6 team will play in the South Canberra Junior Division 1 Grand Final this Saturday at 11 am against at Deakin. If you are free, please come along and support our team!

Afternoon Carline

Just a reminder to parents that carline duty finishes at 3:30 pm for teachers and they are often required for other meetings and planning after school. In the last couple of weeks, there have been many students who have been picked up well beyond this time. OSHclub has a short stay option where parents can enrol their kids into the afterschool program and only pay a small fee if they are picked up before 4 pm. This might be a great option if you struggle to make carline before 3:30. Thanks in advance for your understanding and assistance. 

NAPLAN

Students in Years 3 and 5 will receive their NAPLAN reports today. Please remember these are a snapshot in time and are not always indicative of achievement. If you would like to discuss the report further, please contact your child’s teacher.

Hall Renovation Update

More of the finishes in the office are beginning to appear. The storage frames in the hall will arrive Friday and construction of the doors for these frames is nearing completion. 

A reminder that during the school holidays, the renovation will move into the front office and foyer areas. The front of the school will not be accessible during this time. All-access will be via the rear of the school. 

 

Blessings and best wishes

 

Sean Rutledge

Principal (Acting)
