Scholastic Book Club

This has come home in a new format.  Instead of several leaflets all the books on offer are in one. The exciting thing to see for me is that there are $2 books - gold coin books they are called, and the titles such as the Little Yellow Digger and Wombat Stew are great books.  Take a peek in the book bag.

Year 1 & 2 Camp

A few photos of the fish and chip tea, getting ready to make boats, the orchard and enjoying picking our own fruit and boat racing in the water race.

Father Pat's Invitation

When Father Pat came to share a lesson with our class, the theme was about invitations and how Jesus invites us to follow him by coming to church, and remembering What Would Jesus Do? (WWJD) in our every day lives.  Father Pat brought an envelope and inside was an invitation to visit him at his new presbytery on Brandon St.


Sophie opens Father's special envelope and reads the invitation to Room 3.


Father welcomes us at his front door.


Yes, we all fit on the floor of his living room and enjoy looking at his special family photographs. Thank you Father Pat, and yes we will remember to smile and say hello when we go past.

Triathlon Update

Please note children need to be picked up from the pool at the end of the triathlon.  There is no bus back to school as I wrote on the blog.  This error has been fixed up.  Sorry for any inconvenience.
