Principal’s Report ~ Milly Stone

State Parliament House Our school leaders were invited to attend a special morning tea with Matt Kean. This was a wonderful experience for the children too as they had the opportunity to tour State Parliament House and listen to a variety of speakers talk about leadership. A day they will always remember.

Zoo-Snooze Last Thursday night and Friday, Year 3 experienced the most amazing camp called Zoo Snooze at Taronga Zoo. The students and the staff had the best time and parents you would have been so proud of the way the children adapted to the way of life at the zoo and camping. Thank you to Miss Ridley and Miss Shirdon for giving up your time so that the children could have this experience. Surf Education for Year 5 On Monday, Year 5 went to Dee Why to learn how to stay safe in the surf. These lessons are vital to ensure the safety of children near water. The survival skills and strategies will stay with the children for ever. Kindergarten Orientation The first Kindergarten orientation will begin on Monday 11 November. We look forward to meeting our new Kindergarten children for 2020. See you at 10.00am.

We’ve all put on our kindness hats this week as we celebrate kindness week. We’ve practiced ‘random acts of kindness’ with some beautiful art and craft work and the children have been very mindful and caring while playing outside.

It’s hard to imagine but we are already planning vacation care for the summer holidays. Some very exciting days planned so watch this space.
