Principal’s Message
Can it be that we are at the end of our first
term?! As they say, ‘time flies when you’re
having fun’!
It’s been a busy term and a fabulous one.
The students have been involved in so many
engaging learning activities and I think we are
all ready for a well-earned rest!
The Mathematics Information Morning was a
huge success and it was encouraging to see
so many interested parents eager to learn
how to support their children at home. The
presenter mentioned the possibility of
obtaining some dice packs for families and I
will let you know when they become
available.
During the holidays, please take the
opportunity to treat your child’s hair for lice. It
is unfortunately a fact of life for school
students but if we’re all diligent with this issue
we can make a difference.

School Photographs
The Pixi School photographers will be taking
the students’ photos next term on Thursday 3
May.
Please fill out the envelope coming home
today and return to your child’s teacher as
soon as possible next term.
Each child needs an envelope and any family
photographs requested will require a
separate envelope which is available at the
office.
