Welcome to Week 9 of Term 2.
When we reflect on the semester there is so much for us to be grateful for:-
The fantastic students and what each one brings to our community.
Our families and their commitment and support to the school.
The staff and their dedication to continually go above and beyond to do their very best.
The learning that has taken place and the foundations that are being laid for the future.
Our wonderful Admin team who help us throughout the day, keep the school running and the students well looked after.
Our executive board as they guide and lead us.
The well known ancient African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child” is certainly lived out at our school. The partnerships between us all, are and will continue to be, the basis of our community. We continue to work together to build and support the students as they grow and learn.
Thank you so much, parents and guardians, for your continued support.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Colossian 3:15

A message from the school nurse:
Dear 3-6 Parents
We wish to inform you that head lice have been found within Year 5.
To assist in limiting the spread, can you please check your child’s hair tonight and treat if necessary.
For more information on how to treat head lice please go to the Department of Health’s website at;
www.healthywa.health.wa.gov.au/Articles/F_I/Head-lice
Thank you.
ELC Non-Uniform Day Monday 26 June
Year 1 have been researching endangered Australian animals, in particular the numbat and the western swamp tortoise. Year 1’s have been so moved by the plight of these special WA animals that they have asked Mrs Lockwood Jones if the money collected in the upcoming free dress day can be donated to accompanying charities.
They have created posters to help further spread awareness as they endeavour to ‘take action’. These can be seen throughout the ELC.
Thank you for your support in their efforts.
