Term 4 Week 6 - Thursday 16 November, 2023
Queenies Book Week
A huge thank you to all those students that got dressed up for our Queenies Book Week parade yesterday. There were some excellent costumes and it was clear that a great deal of time, thought and effort went into making them. Thanks also to Mrs O'Brien for organising not only the parade but our guest author, Renee Treml, who spent some time talking to our students about the process involved in writing a book. Another successful day!
Father’s Day Breakfast and Stall
We are really looking forward to the Father’s Day breakfast tomorrow morning in the undercover area starting at 7.30am. For those who have ordered you can look forward to a yummy breakfast shared with your child/children. I thank our hard working P&F for organising this for our dads and father figures. There will also be a Father’s Day stall tomorrow so make sure the children have some money to buy dad a present. It promises to be another wonderful event for our school. I wish all our dads a happy Father’s Day on Sunday. I hope you get spoilt!
School Photos
Our school photo day for 2024 is next Wednesday 4th September for our Kindy to Year 6 classes with the Pre-Kindy students having their photo on Tuesday 10th. This year we are again using Photo Hendriks for our school photos. As Term 3 is a winter term, I would like all students to be in full winter uniform.
Kindy 2026 - Places Filling Fast
The Kindy 2026 class is filling fast so we remind families to submit applications as soon as possible for children born between 1 July 2021 and 30 June 2022.
We conduct our interviews 2 years in advance and have already held interviews this year for families who had lodged applications earlier.
The class is now over half full.

Library News
Thank you to our wonderful staff, students and parents for supporting Queenies Book Week. We saw some very creative costumes, enjoyed listening to our visiting author Renee Treml , and to top off the day, a surprise whole school story time with Mr Ryan.
Our next event will be our annual Scholastics Bookfair which coincides with school open night on Wednesday 11th September.
Lastly, a very big thank you to our parent volunteers for your help covering lots of new library books for our students.
Dear Parents,
A big congratulations goes out to the Year 3 to 6 choir members who performed at the RAC Arena last Thursday as part of the One Big Voice Concert. What an experience!!!!!
The concert involved over 3000 students singing a repertoire of songs and the experience was mind blowing. We loved every minute of it, and I am just as delighted that the parents enjoyed it as much as we did.
A BIG thank you goes out to each choir member. We have been practising 4 days a week with 8.30am starts. Their commitment and enthusiasm to learn the songs was evident each morning when they arrived for our choir sessions. Their hard work paid off as their performance on the night was more than outstanding. I am so proud of each and every one of you – so thank you!
Thank you also goes out to Mr Ryan and Mrs Anderson for accompanying us on the day. Thank you also to the parents for your support over the last few weeks and for your kind words and thoughtfulness during this time.
Parents if you wish to download the concert please hop onto the One Big Voice Facebook account. Photos from the concert can also be accessed here.
Thank you everyone
From a very happy and proud
