PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Swim School Our swim school started on Monday and will run through weeks 3 and 4. This program is beneficial to so many children as it’s extremely important that they learn to swim and can be safe when in and near water. Please remember to not use any products containing Eucalyptus Oil before your child attends the pool. PRINCIPALS RECOGNITION I thank Mrs Thea Hemming for her organisation of the bike safety afternoon last Wednesday. Through her commitment to the safety of our children as pedestrians and bike riders, the planned activities engaged a wide range of children. I also thank Mr Peter Wade for mowing a bike track on the oval and putting up various road signs the children had to adhere to.

Working together as partners in the education of your child.
