As I’m sure you have all heard, school will now be closed on Thursday 22^nd September 2022 as a national day of mourning has been declared following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

In relation to events across the ELC and 3-6, this will cause minimal disruption, other than students missing out on the usual classes of that day. School will resume as normal on Friday 23^rd September, which is the last day of term, and we will be holding assemblies in both the ELC and the 3-6, before we break for the school holiday.

As we look across this week, we have some exciting things happening. Firstly, we have our Y5 camp, which will commence on Wednesday at Woodman Point. It promises to be a great experience for the children.

Our Year 1 children will also have their camp day on Friday 16^th September, where they will spend the day at Caversham Wildlife Park followed by activities into the evening back at school.

On Thursday 15^th September, Our Year 2 Students will also be taking part in the next phase of their transition into Year 3 with an orientation afternoon. The students will come into the 3-6 space and take part in some lessons from our specialist teachers.

NON-UNIFORM DAY – MONDAY 19 SEPTEMBER

Non-uniform funds from 3-6 for term 3 go to the ping-pong-a-thon. Year 6 students have been taking part in this in teams of four during lunchtimes. The ping-pong-a-thon raises money for the International Justice Mission that helps to free children that are in slavery around the world.
