Welcome to Week 4!

Good afternoon parents,

I hope that you enjoyed the extra long weekend! I have spent it seeing lots of mates down from Perth and drinking lots of coffee, taking big walks and fully adulting!

Even though the circumstances were difficult, it was so nice to see so many of your faces last week during the pick up for our Bushfire Drill. I would like to thank you all for supporting this very worthy initiative...it was great to see you and I hope that I can meet more of you in the coming weeks!

A few reminders for the coming week...even though it's a short one!

REMINDERS - WEEK 4

Swimming Carnival - Is on this Thursday 4th March (weather dependent of course). Please make sure that your child comes to school wearing their faction t-shirt, bathers underneath or easily accessible, they bring a towel, goggles, rashie, thongs for to and from the pool and plenty of food!

Project Compassion - If I can ask you to have a chat with your child to see if they might have any spare change to donate to the Project Compassion box this week I would be most grateful!

PAT Assessments - We will continue working on these on Wednesday and Friday. We would appreciate your support in making sure that you child brings their laptop to school on these days.

Swimming Lessons - These begin next Monday 8th March. We will be hopping on the bus at 11.40am to get to the beach ready for our lesson to begin at 11.55am. The swimming lessons will go for 40 minutes. We will then grab towels and thongs and head back to school to get changed. We will be back at school by 12.50 in time to get changed and have lunch...canteen can run as normal for your family!

Again, please make sure that your child is bringing a sturdy bag (not a plastic one...these tend to break once over filled and swung around trying to hit your mate several times!), towel, goggles, thongs and their school hat. 

Students are to wear their sports uniform for the two weeks of swimming lessons! Either the teal or polo shirt is fine. 

We will be running an adjusted timetable over those weeks...please be reassured that we will be working as hard as ever bearing in mind that as the week goes on, tiredness increases!

Please note these times if you are needing to make any appointments or for early pick ups.

No Homework - Due to the short week this week, we have not assigned any formal homework. 

We would love to see your child still doing all of those other good things to help out around the house as much as possible.

Have a great week and enjoy it's shortness!

Kind regards,

Mrs Delane

Week 9...The Last One!

Good afternoon parents, Welcome to the final week, if you are like me, I can remember October and then suddenly the term is at its end!  It has been a busy one here, I was lucky enough to head to the Player's night on Thursday down at Shark Park and then was also able to head to the Volunteers Breakfast on Sunday...had the best chat with Bob Murphy, he is one funny cat!  What a great opportunity for our town to have the players in, they were so appreciative of the opportunity to come and connect with their fans and were a pleasure to be around! I would like to say the biggest and most sincere thank you to you as a parent group, you have been so supportive of myself and your children and we have had a thoroughly brilliant year as a group!  To see how much the children have grown and changed is such a privilege and I am going to miss them all very very much. I wish you and your families, a enjoyable and restful break, I am sure we will see each other on the beach or around town betwe

Week 5 Update - Hump Week!

Good afternoon parents, For those looking for an embarrassing or dramatic story this week, I am sorry to disappoint!  This weekend has been all about a bit of family time and for me, catching up on a the last two Matthew Reilly novels...knocked those out yesterday so hit me up if you have any recommendations!  I also finished the Will Smith autobiography this week if anyone is looking for a really great read! It has been an interesting week trying to process what is happening here in WA as well as what is happening overseas...I can't even imagine what it must be like for families just like us to be gripped by war.  Like many parents, I am struggling  to explain it to my own children who have some grasp of what is happening but also a child like fear as well...I just don't know what to say? With this in mind, you may have seen on Facebook that as a school community, we are offering families the opportunity to attend a prayer vigil on Wednesday afternoon beginning at 4pm on our

Week 10 - The Home Stretch!

Good afternoon! The last week has arrived...I can't believe it either! Term 2 has been such a busy and productive time, the students have worked like troopers producing some amazing pieces of work! We are very proud of the learning habits they have developed and the maturity they are showing as we grow closer to Year 5. In saying this, it is time for a well-deserved break! REMINDERS - WEEK 10 Father Ian and Mr Wilkie Farewell Mass   - Tomorrow Father Tony Chiera will be celebrating Mass with us in the hall to wish Mr Wilkie and Fr Ian a happy farewell and retirement. The mass will begin at 1.30 pm and afterwards there will be an afternoon tea for the parents and parishioners to share together. It has been asked if families in Years Four to Six provide a plate for this afternoon tea and take it to the hall in the morning. We thank you for your support with this. Pencil Cases Refill   - At the end of this week we will be sending the student's pencil cases ho
