We are close to finalising class structures for 2026. Some late enrolments have delayed this process a little. We have put considerable thought into class placements for students. This involves a broad range of considerations. The class placements are final, any individual changes demanded or requested would have an unfair knock-on effect for other students.

Our staffing structure for 2026 is still being finalised. The aim is to have staffing settled by the transition day. We will let children know which class they will be in next year in the week before the whole school transition day (December 9^th).

This week’s helpers are  Maddie Prentice and Jim Kelley

Next week helpers are   Ella Joy and Hunter Wall

Congratulations to all our award recipients.

Since the start of the term, students in Year 3/4 have been learning a new mono-printing technique using geli-plates. Working in pairs, they produced a variety of unique prints.

Over the past two weeks, 3/4A and 3/4R were inspired by the works of Australian artist Anna Blatman, and created simplified cat, dog or fish silhouettes filled with collage, using their geli-plate prints.

Check out the teeth on some of those toe-eating fish!!!!

This week's Hot Lunch was Hamburger/Veggie Burger Rolls.   

We only have a few more lunches to go this term! 

The roster is almost full. Thanks everyone for all your help putting together another term of delicious lunches :)
