FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Sporting Results

Congratulations to Mia, Denny and Charlie F for their amazing sporting skills. Mia is heading off to the North Coast Swimming Champs, Denny is heading to the Far North Coast Rugby League Trials and Charlie F is going to Far North Coast Basketball Trials.

Easter Hat Parade and ANZAC Service

Our Easter Hat Parade will be held on Thursday 28 March. Start prepping those hats so you don't get caught in a rush the day before!

Our ANZAC service is always an event not to be missed. We will welcome RSL members to our school and give thanks to those service people who have supported Australia.

School Bytes

As many of you will have read, we are trying to streamline our office procedures by using School Bytes to pay and give permission to excursions. We are aiming to move away from paper notes. Within this app, you can also log student absenteeism, pay school fees and check your child's attendance - all with the click of a button. If you are having trouble using the app or signing in, please let us know so we can follow up your concern with School Bytes.

Staffing

The back of end of this term there will be some staffing changes due to leave.

Coffee Mornings

Our coffee mornings are running again this term. Each even week Zoe (school child pysch) and myself are out the front to chat and have a cuppa. Drop in and say g'day. We can just generally chat about life or if you have specific question regarding your child's wellbeing, we are here for that too!

Cross Country

Our school will host the Cross Country on Thursday 11 April. We are super excited! Sigge has mowed the track, and our students will be able to practice on it in the coming weeks! The canteen will be searching for helpers for this event over the next few weeks.

Winter Festival

We have set the Winter Festival date for Sunday 16 June! More info will be coming out this term so keep an eye out!


NAPLAN

NAPLAN is now finished for another year, with several students completing their catch up tests today. We look forward to receiving the student results to further enable us to target our teaching to support student learning.
