P&C Thanks

 

The staff and students would like to thank our P&C and the collective parent body for their generous donations to our school to support our student initiatives. With fundraising and management of the business units (tuckshop, uniform, swim club and WOSHC) the P&C, at last night’s meeting, were able to commit over $ 170 000 to school enhancements thanks to funds raised!

• $100 000 to go in a holding account and contribute to the development of our Outdoor Learning Classroom (this also includes the money raised from the 2022 colour run!). Funds will continue to be placed towards this project in the coming years.
• $45 000 to go towards placing interactive TVs in every classroom.
• $20 000 towards technology (this will be used to support digital devices across the school).
• $5 000 towards our yarning circle- to be installed during the Easter break.
• Approximately $4 500 to provide free student safety and Life Education programming for Prep-Year 1 and Year 5-6 students.
• $1 000 towards our students’ garden and sustainability club.

 

Thank you! Thank you, thank you! Please get involved in our P&C to continue to make our school great. 

 

ACE Students

This year we are focussing on all of our students being ACE students. Our whole staff will continue to work with students around the importance of attendance, building confidence and resilience and also engaging in, and owning, their own learning.

Swimming

Swimming lessons commence this week for students in Year 1-6. Swimming is an assessable part of the curriculum and all students should swim unless they are unwell. Students who do not bring the required equipment for swimming or are unable to swim, will be placed in an alternative class for the lesson duration and parents will be notified.

 

Thank you to all of the parents who have come forward to volunteer as spotters/helpers at the pool, we appreciate your generous support so our students can swim! If you haven’t yet registered your availability and can help out with swimming, please contact Mr Bloxsom at sblox5@eq.edu.au

Your child’s class teacher looks forward to welcoming you to the Parent-Teacher information sessions to be held this afternoon, Wednesday 8 February. In these sessions, your child’s teacher will present information about their class routines and also the broader school.
