Dear Parents and Carers,

Firstly, may I wish you a happy new year and thank you for all your kind

comments regarding the wonderful performances that took place leading up to

the holidays. Thank you also for helping support all the Christmas activities that

took place.

The children have returned to school eager, enthusiastic and ready to learn.

May I remind you that all children should be sent to school in the correct school

uniform including their PE kit, footwear and long hair tied back. May I also

remind you that children should not enter the school at the start of the day

through the main office unless the gates have been locked.

I will be holding a coffee afternoon on February 13th at 2.00 pm, please come

along and get to know more about how you can help to improve our school.

Thank you for helping to make the school the best it can be!

Trish Farrelly

Principal
