Our District competitors

Super swimmers

Amazingly in a week of such wet and wild weather we managed to hold our Annual Swimming Carnival uninterrupted. Thank you to all of the parents who came along including those who volunteered their time throughout the day, much appreciated. Thank you also to all our staff for their efforts in particular Mr Wetherall for his organisation. We wish all our competitors at the District Swimming on Wednesday 19 February all the best. Special mention to Jeremy who is the fastest swimmer in the school despite only being in Year 3!

P&C Meeting

We have a P&C Meeting scheduled for next Monday 24 February at 4pm in the school library. New members are always very welcome.

Bunnings BBQ

Our P&C are running a Bunnings BBQ fundraiser on Saturday 28 March. If any parents are available to volunteer a few hours on the day that would be hugely appreciated, just contact the school or P&C President Katie Tonkin. More information to be provided in due course.

Permission Notes

Courtesy reminder regarding permission notes. Many notes will have due dates for payments and/or return of notes. It is greatly appreciated if parents can endeavour to support the school in meeting these deadlines. This assists the smooth running and organisation of these events.

We will all miss her very much!

Pick Up and Drop Off

Thank you to all parents who pick up and drop off children on time each day. There will be times where lateness occurs and we are very understanding of special circumstances. If parents could follow the following protocols this would be appreciated:

If children are late to school please accompany them to the office to sign them in

If you need to pick up a child early please come to the office first to sign them out

If any pick up arrangements change please advise the office by 2:30pm at the latest

P&C Meeting ‘Meet & Greet’

Monday 24 February at 4pm The P&C would like to welcome everyone back and welcome all new students and families to the school. Our first meeting for 2020 will be held at 4pm in the library where you'll have an opportunity to meet the P&C Executives and Mr Nichols, our fantastic principal. This is an informal setting where you can find out what exciting things are on the agenda for the coming school year. Everyone is welcome including children.

A big ‘Thank You’ for you help The P&C would like to thank Byron Ross in Banora Point who has generously offered to help us audit our accounts at a very favorable rate to help support our school.

We would also like to thank Butlers Accountants in Coolangatta who, though they do not do auditing at their firm, generously offered a donation to aid in the cost of the audit.

Canteen Volunteers Our School Canteen will continue to be open on Wednesday and Friday this year. As our Canteen is purely volunteer run, we need as many helpers as possible to keep things running. This is a great way to be involved in the school and the kids just love to see someone they know behind the counter helping out. If you are able to help in any capacity, you can leave your name at the office or drop in on a Wednesday or Friday to speak with Robyn our Canteen Coordinator.

Build Club Build club are asking for boxes for this year’s club. If you have any spare at home it would be greatly appreciated. You can drop them off at the office. Thank you.
