It has been a hot week but our Primary students have managed to stay cool and engage in lots of exciting learning!
Stage 3 At Treetops
Last Friday, Stage 3 went to the Treetops Adventure Park in Minmi. We set off from school with lots of excited, nervous and happy children for a day of friendship and team building. There were two courses of ropes to choose from and they included many obstacles and flying foxes, both came with challenges. For many it was a day of achieving personal goals and getting out of their comfort zones in a supportive and safe environment. This gave our students the opportunity to display our school values of CHRIST - Courage, Humility, Respect, Initiative, Self Control and Trust. The students were amazing! The Treetops staff shared how impressed they were with Stage 3, the way they encouraged each other and celebrated the achievements of all. We had a great day and were extremely proud of our students!
Infants Swimming Fun Day
We warmly invite all our parents and caregivers to our annual Infants Swimming Fun Day:

We are looking forward to a very fun day together where our students can celebrate their developing swimming ability.
Prep Starting Time
I am pleased to announce that the Prep doors will open to receive children at 8:35am from Monday 13th March. The finish time of 3pm will remain the same. In order to ensure their safety, all Prep students should be delivered and picked up from the Prep room by an adult. Please note that Prep children are not to be left in the playground with an older sibling.
Wet Weather Planning
We have been blessed with some beautiful, dry, hot weather lately. It won’t be long before we see rain again. In order for our students to be prepared for wet weather, we encourage families to purchase a good quality raincoat that can remain in your child’s bag for when it is needed. Yellow is the optimal colour for visibility and safety. Some good options can be found below:
Kmart: Sizes 1-9. Price: $29.
Best and Less: Transparent colour (not yellow). Sizes 4-14. Price: $15.
Anaconda: CAPE Kids Pack It Rain Jacket. Sizes 4-16. Price: $51.99. Club Price: $41.99
Mountain Warehouse: Parka II Kids Waterproof Jacket. Sizes 2-13. $40.99. Currently 20% off for $32.79
Kathmandu: Kids Pocked-It Kids Two Layer Rain Jacket. Sizes 2,4,6. Price: $79.98
eBay, Amazon and Catch also have some options available for varying prices.
Due to the safety risk of many children walking around with umbrellas, we ask that Primary students leave their umbrellas at home.
I wish all our families a restful weekend.
Regards,
Mrs T Wright Baker
Head of Primary
