Reminder – Gumboot Friday

Gumboot Friday – Mufti Day today
Apologies for the late notice but we would like to take the opportunity to support the Gumboot Friday Appeal. The children can come to school in mufti and we would love to see them wearing their gumboots. We will do a wellbeing walk around the village in place of the bake sale this year due to the late notice. A gold coin donation would be appreciated if you would like to support.

If you wold like to donate $3 online you can text BOOTS to 469.

Athletics Day.

Please put plenty of sunblock on for today. We have a limited supply of sunblock at school but if you could send/bring along sunblock for your child/ren everyone will be ‘sunsmart’ by reapplying throughout the day. Looking forward to seeing you all at our Athletics Day.
