Best of wishes to our Brokers District Swimming squad who will compete

on Monday. I am sure you will all represent our school swimmingly!

I have been asked by a number of

concerned parents and community

members to remind all parents that

Duff Pde and Pioneer Rd are school

zones! Please slow down to 40

during school mes! I have

contacted the local area command

and asked them to undertake

random spot checks of the streets

around our school. The safety,

wellbeing and welfare of our students is everyone's business.

Please slow down! Bede Darcey
