Books have been added to the P&C Nook on the kitchen shelves for parents to borrow and to look at regarding cyber safety for children and building resilience. Both titles are worth a look and have great information designed to protect our students online. The P&C and the school have been offered a Community Building Partnership Grant towards playground equipment to the value of $13900. The school and the P&C are working towards getting quotes so the funds can be claimed. Final designs will be considered after this has been achieved.

bursts off the page in a spectacular live show,

taking the world’s best-loved fairy tales and

rearranging them with some surprising and

hilarious twists. Frighteningly funny and seriously

silly, Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes & Dirty

Beasts is the perfect family entertainment - for

children 5 to 105. It delights and disgusts in equal

measures.

Don’t miss this multi-Helpmann Award

nominated production penned by the world’s

number one storyteller and from the team that

brought you George’s Marvellous Medicine.

"You’ll laugh, squirm, delight, smile and

thoroughly enjoy the smorgasbord of Dahl’s

terrific and twisted tales that have been lovingly

adapted for the stage.” Australian Stage Online

"It’s a rock concert, a Hip Hop film clip, a

fairytale, and a favourite book brought to vivid

life, all rolled into one and all PG-Rated. Fun that

the whole family will enjoy.” XS Entertainment
