Dear Parents/Guardians
Well done to Mrs Doggett’s Year 5 class who
ran a very informative and entertaining
assembly last week based on the parts of the
body.
It was wonderful to see so many
students receiving Certificates of Academic
Achievement as well.
Easter Raffle
I had the pleasure yesterday of drawing the
raffle prizes and it was fantastic to see the
response given by the community for this
fundraiser.
There were approximately 150
prizes wrapped which is a direct result of the
many eggs that were donated.
Thank you to everyone who either bought
tickets or donated the eggs. Prize winners will
be announced on Thursday after lunch. Once
again thank you to the ladies who organised
and/or wrapped the egg prizes.
ANZAC - Student Activities
The students have been very actively involved
in activities around the 100th Centenary of the
landing at Gallipoli. Well done to all students
involved. The work produced has been of an
exceptional standard.
Even though this has been a short term, it has
been a very busy one and I know everyone
will enjoy the break. Enjoy your holidays and
I look forward to everyone returning refreshed
on Tuesday 21st April.
Thank you
Deborah Bloor
Principal
Healthy Eating Plates
We were very fortunate to have plates promoting healthy eating donated to the school
by the Australian Institute of Sport. Miss
Pitts will be giving each Kindergarten child a
plate next term and incorporating a healthy
eating program in her class. Thank you to
Mrs Jessica Cumby who sourced the plates
for us.
100% Attendance
Certificates were given out this week to students who have achieved 100% attendance
this term. There were 123 students from
Pre-primary to Year 6 who achieved this,
which is 28%. This is fantastic, as improving
students attendance is a major focus for the
school.
EASTER RAFFLE
Thank you to all the parents, carers,
students and teachers who helped make
this years Easter Raffle a huge success.
We were able to put over 100 prizes
together from the amazing array of goodies
donated.
We wish you all a very Safe, Fun & Happy

lay a wreath please return the slip below to Mrs Wozniuk in the library by Thursday 2nd April?
Could parents please ensure that their children are wearing full school uniform for this special occasion?
