Quadrennial School Review or QSR Process
During the next 2 months we will be undertaking a review of our progress against our last 4 year strategic plan. We need this process to be a consultative process and therefore we are inviting those parents who can be involved in looking at our previous goals and identifying the positives about our school, to attend a short meeting prior to the next P&C meeting which is on Monday 15 August.
We greatly appreciate your input and time; it will make our school’s future brighter, stronger and forward thinking.
P-2 have planned their sleepover for week nine 09 September this term. The preps and year ones are invited to stay all day Friday until after dinner and a movie. Then the year 2’s sleep overnight and are picked up early on Saturday morning, after breakfast.
125 year Celebrations
In 2018, our school will celebrate 125 years since opening. We are currently forming an organizational committee to plan the celebratory events and activities. Please contact Di Morley at school if you think you’d like to be involved. Everyone past and present are welcome.
