Dear Parents,

We have a quiet start with some fun packed days towards the end of the week. On Thursday 19 November, 3-6 are holding a Market Day, so for those students, feel free to bring along some spare change to buy some hand-made items, with all proceeds going to charities. Then on Friday 20 November, there are several events taking place across the Primary school. At the ELC, there is a special Worship for Kindy and Pre Primary students. The Harley Davidson motorbikes are returning this year to collect all the gifts that have been donated for children in foster care this Christmas. Some of our Year 5-6 students will be attending NIPSSA Cricket, whilst all the Year 6 students will be attending the Lightning Carnival, Duncraig v Carramar. Next week, Monday 23 November, there will be a Worship Gathering for Years 3 and 5 and the Primary Choral Festival.

Please read carefully through this Primary blog, and your class blog notices for upcoming events for the rest of the term.

ROADWORKS ON DOVERIDGE DRIVE

We have been advised by the City of Joondalup that necessary asphalt resurfacing works will be taking place on Doveridge Dr from 23 November and should be completed within 8 weeks. The extent of the work is between Curbur Rd south to Winster Close.

Thank you for your patience during these roadworks.

YEARS 3 – 6 Attention Parents who have purchase items from Campion for 2021

It has come to our attention that an item on the Resource list, namely Book Covers – Exercise 9 x 7 Pkt 5, are too small and should be A4 book covers. If you placed your order with Campion before Friday 6 November, please bring the unopened small book covers to your class teacher on the first day back in 2021 and we will swap these for the correct size. If you ordered after Friday 6 November, you will have received the correct size.

Thank you for your understanding

ATTENTION: PARENTS

Please ensure all school uniform and other items are clearly labelled. We still have an ongoing problem of items in lost property with no name label. This is growing ….. ☹

Thank you for your support in this matter.
