Term 3, Week 6 School Newsletter.
News from the Principal
Dear Families,
The students, teachers and support staff had a fantastic day at Sovereign Hill yesterday. A very big thank you to all of the staff who help make these days possible.
We have some very busy weeks coming up including Book Week, (Dress Up Day on Thursday the 25th of August). We invite all parents to join us at school drop off time for a complimentary coffee, from the onsite coffee van. Other snacks will also be available for purchase from the coffee van.
Our Book Week Parade will take place on Thursday 25th August from 9:15 am to 10:15 am.
All families are invited to join with us and we will have a complimentary coffee van onsite.
Please remember to include a spare change of clothes for your child, as the school grounds are very muddy. (I’m sure quite a few washing machines are working double time at the moment). We also encourage students to have a pair of slippers at school to avoid muddy shoes in the classroom.
Have a wonderful week and we can’t wait to share all of our learning adventures with you over the coming weeks.
WEEKEND MASS TIMES
Saturday - Dunnstown – 6.30 pm, Sunday – 8.45 am - Gordon & Ballan – 10.30 am.
