Dear Families, 

The past few weeks have flown by and it's hard to believe that it’s the end of the term.  

It’s been an exciting and busy last few weeks with preparation for Book Week and work being undertaken in the library to revitalise and create a vibrant and inviting space. Thank you Mr Milne, Mrs McKenzie and Mr Bennett for making our library look absolutely fabulous. 

Last week we held our Book Fair.  Mrs Mckenzie and her fantastic team of helpers were there each morning and afternoon for parents to visit and see the books that their children would love to own.  Many students were very lucky and went home with one or more books. Your incredible support has enabled us to purchase some new books for our Library. Thank you for your amazing generosity.

Mrs Riley and Mrs McKenzie also created a stunning display in the library to celebrate Book Week.  Mrs Bellette would be exceptionally proud of your wonderful display.

Last Friday we held our annual Book Week Parade.  We were highly impressed with the number of entries and the inventiveness, and creativity of many of the costumes. Nearly all the students and staff in our school dressed up as a book character and many of them brought the book along for the parade.  Our judges, Ms Burn, Ms Jones and Miss Kerlinda Lee Gallagher-Young had the unenviable task of choosing the winners.  There were times when the judges had to award two prizes to a class, as they just could not make a decision such was the quality of the entrants costumes. The standard of the teacher’s costumes this year was also extremely high with all teachers going the extra mile to create amazing costumes.  Our wonderful Mrs McKenzie has uploaded the amazing photos of the event on the screen just inside the front door.  Don’t forget to have a look!  There is also a selection of photos included in this newsletter.  A big thank you to Mr Milne for co-ordinating the event.

Have a safe and happy holiday!

Thank you for your ongoing support.
