A note from Mr Pardini

Teacher-Parent Meetings - Early close

Thank you to all parents who have responded via the online booking system for 'Teacher-Parent Meetings' for next Wednesday. A reminder Wednesday 5 April will be an early close to suit these meetings. We ask for your support to make arrangements to collect your child at 12.00pm on this day. If you cannot make a time this term to see your child's teacher, may I encourage you to touch base with the teachers early in Term 2. Thank you.

Blessing of the Roads- Tuesday 4 April

Year 5/6 will walk to Memorial Park for the annual 'Blessing of the Roads' service coordinated by the Bridgetown Shire. Our Head Students (Matilda and Xavier) will read a small passage on the role 'fatigue' plays in motor vehicle accidents. The service will commence at 9.15am. Parents are welcome to attend.

Three Year Old Pre-Kindy Information Session

It's getting close! An information session will be held during Week 10 on Tuesday 4 April 9.30am in the Kindy room. This session is for parents of children commencing our Three Year Old Pre-Kindy program next term. Supervision will be available for the children to play outside during the meeting.

Stations of the Cross

On the final day of the term, the Year 5 class will take us through the Stations of the Cross, which commemorates the final hours of Jesus' life on earth. This will be a fitting moment to lead all students into the Easter holiday period. 

Have a wondeful weekend everyone!
