Hats

·      The school rule, this term, is for all students to wear a full brimmed hat during morning tea and lunchtime.  There are still a number of students who are in the playground without a hat or holding the hat in their hands.  Those students who are found without their hat (or the wrong type of hat e.g. cap) on their heads will be asked to sit in the shade (under the junior shade cloth) for the remainder of the break.

General

·      Let’s look after our environment by…PICKING UP RUBBISH around the playground

·      Bring togs every day!!!

·      Stay out of the corridors during morning tea and lunchtime.

·      As we look to finish our year it is important to remember our school values:RESPECT, KINDNESS, COOPERATION, THINKING POSITIVELY, SELF DISCIPLINE, COMMITMENT and INTEGRITY.

These values MUST guide our thoughts and actions through the rest of the year.  We challenge all students to display these values everyday!
