1. JUNIOR SCHOOL STUDENTS
Please put an extra set of clothes in your child’s
bag if possible. Some children are needing an
extra set with the wet weather.
Dear Parents/Caregivers
Hope you have all been keeping well over the
past fortnight. We have had a number of
staff and children away as the ‘flu bug’
continues to affect a large number of people.
Please keep your children home if they are
showing flu like symptoms as this is a nasty
bug which seems to keep people at home for
at least 3 days.
We are all enjoying Spring even though the
weather has been very variable.
The School choir has been busy practising
with Miss Jones for their performance next
Tuesday night in the annual ILT Sing Out at
the Civic Theatre. It will be a great night so
if you have the chance, try and get along to
enjoy the performances.
Regards
Wendy Ryan
Principal
