Dear Parents,
Last week there was so much excitement around the Primary school with several events taking place including, the Year 1 camp, the 3 -6 Athletics Carnival and the Primary Choir assembly at the ELC. Thank you to all the parent and community members who supported these events.
Week 8, is another busy week in the Primary School. On Tuesday the Year 2’s will be starting their day at the Primary School (3-6) and will have their French and Music Lessons before returning to the ELC. The Year 5 students will also be holding their Market Day. Students can bring a small amount of change to spend on the wares that are on offer. The week continues to build in excitement for the Year 5 students with their camp commencing on Wednesday. On Friday at ELC, there is a Worship for Year’s 1 and 2 students and parents whilst the Pre Primary classes are having a Marvellous Mixtures Day! There are three camps taking place on this day, for our Year 2 and Year 3’s and the Year 5’s returning from their camp.
Join us for a Worship Gathering 3-6 on Monday 21 September. Please don’t forget that this day is also Non-Uniform Day. Can students please bring a gold coin donation to support Fruitful Harvest (ELC) and The Falconers & Mon Parker (3-6). More information on these wonderful causes can be found below.
As you can see, we have lots of things happening across the Primary school. However, this year is very different from previous years. Please know that the staff are working very hard to ensure students still have exciting and fun-filled learning activities in place. Any incursions or excursions that have been cancelled this year have been replaced with other activities for the students to enjoy. We are finding it very difficult to rebook some excursions due to limited spaces. As a result, you will see that staff have booked more incursions.
Hope you have a wonderful week ahead.
