Dear Parents,

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.  Psalm 118:1

We now have only a short time left until the end of the school year. The business of this time of year can impact on us taking the time to stop, reflect and have gratitude for all that we have, and all that we have done. Our Duncraig Primary Presentation Evening is an wonderful opportunity for us to stop and celebrate the end of the school year as a community. We look forward to seeing you there for this special event.

Parents and students from K – Year 6 are invited to join in for a family picnic on the Primary Oval. The School will organise some fun and games which include 2 bouncy castles and 2 water slides. BYO picnic, blankets, shade, sportswear that can get wet, towels, sunscreen, hats, etc. If parents wish to purchase an ice cream, snow cone or coffee, vans will be on site.   Please note that this is strictly a non-alcoholic and smoke free event.   Please consider Covid-19 social distancing measures.

As this is a community event, children need to be supervised by parents at all times, including on the School’s play equipment. Although teachers may be in the area they will not be available for supervision during this time.  Students must have a guardian present when attending this event.
