PARENT SURVEY
Thank you to the families who have completed our online Parent Survey. The school greatly appreciates all feedback and I would encourage you to have your say. The survey is designed to provide information that will inform our next three year school plan. If you would like to complete the survey please click on the link below.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2K2MJZ8
The link will remain active for the next week. Previous parent survey results have resulted in the creation of school programs such as Kids Shed and playground activities including gardening.
BUILDING WORKS UPDATE
This week I discussed with the project managers the staging for our building work. The plans are 99.9% complete and are awaiting sign off from the Department. The project will shortly be going to tender, with the successful company being appointed before the end of the year. It is certainly an exciting time and the management of such a large building program will result in some changes to school planning and function. I will communicate any changes through the school newsletter.
SENIOR CHOIR
Congratulations to the members of the Senior Choir who performed as part of Festival of Choral Music on Monday night at the Sydney Opera House. Our school has successfully auditioned to participate in this event for a number of years. I am certain that the students will treasure the memory for years to come. Many thanks to Mrs McLaren and Mrs Mills who supported the choir in the lead up and throughout the day.
YEAR 5 CAMP
The wild weather hasn’t dampened the spirits of our Year 5 students who are having a great time on camp this week. We look forward to seeing them on Friday night and hearing of their adventures.

When it is your child’s birthday, they have the opportunity to
donate a book of their choice (already purchased by the library)
for the small cost of $6.00. After paying, the children can come
to the library and select a birthday book.
The books will be presented to the children on assembly. Each
book will have a special message inside saying who has
donated the book. The birthday child will be the first to borrow
the book. Welcome to the club Ivy

your child is sick you can notify us via the Skoolbag App, telephone us, or send a note in when your child returns to school.
