QUOTE FOR THE WEEK
Fortnightly Newsletter
Welcome to the first school newsletter for 2023. This year, our school newsletter will be sent out every fortnight on a Friday and if there is any other information that has to be shared, your classroom teacher will send you out an email. Sports Draws will be sent out from the office on Mondays.
Birthday Greetings to:
Nilah C, Celina M and Honeybelle R
Dominican Choir
The Choir will be performing at the Opera House on Tuesday at 3.45 pm. The choir members will wear their summer school uniform with tidy place shoes. This is a swimming day and the choir children can wear their uniform rather than their PE uniform to the pool that day.
As this is an after-school activity, the children need to be transported to and from the Opera House. Children and parents could organise transport with each other and share rides.
