Welcome Back
I hope you have had a great holiday and kept safe over the break. There are many events to look forward to this term which means that the long holidays will come up very quickly.
Running Club
Running club will continue, unless the weather makes it impossible to safely continue, this term on Tuesdays, from 3:15 to 3:45 and Thursdays from 7:45 to 8:15. Mr Sutherland will hold his sessions on Fridays from 7:45 to 8:15. Remember that all of these sessions will occur on the main, or years 3-6, oval.
Swimming Commencing in Week 2
School swimming lessons commenced in week 2, for Prep to Year 6 students, at Yeronga Park Pool. Lessons will continue until the end of week 7 (week ending 19 November). Please note that there will only be five weeks as lessons are unable to be held in week 5 ( from 1 to 5 November). A big thank you to Yeronga Park Pool for their cooperation in organising and teaching lessons to our Prep to Six students and for the use of the complex for our carnivals, free of charge, and our behaviour celebrations at a very friendly price.
Please send your child with all of the appropriate equipment. These items are noted on the swimming information which was released last term.
