Dear Families,

Thankyou to all for a great turnout on Thursday afternoon for our Big Sing celebration in the outdoor amphitheatre. With the storm looming overhead our young choristers entertained with verve and joy. Thankyou Mrs Truce for wonderful effort again to prepare the students and organised the event!

This week I have had several emails regarding the increasing presence and unfortunately, increasing distress, dogs on school grounds are presenting for our youngest children. I will be discussing the issue at the PandC meeting this coming Tuesday evening as part of my report to the members if you are interested. In the meantime, please, if you are bringing your family dog on to the school site, make sure they are on a leash at all times. It is appreciated if they are kept off verandahs and walkways to allow for safe passage of children, families and staff throughout the school site.

As you may be aware this term is an 11 Week term. In consultation with the Queensland Teaacher’s Union earlier this year the Minister for the Department of Education confirmed Week 11 would be a week of supervision activities only. This means a program of activities will be developed to ensure our students will be actively engaged for the week. The program for week 11 will be shared with parents once it has been finalised with teachers.

Have a wonderful week,

Eunice
