This week our Year 1 to 6 students commenced swimming lessons at the Riverton Leisureplex. The lessons will continue next week and conclude on December 1.

We now have our 6 committee members for the 2024 P&F. I thank Koreena Cinanni for putting her hand up to join the committee. I look forward to working closely with our hard working P&F next year.

The rescheduled Pre-Primary Assembly is tomorrow (24th November) at 8.50am in the hall. Hopefully everyone will be back fit and well and ready to show us what they have been doing in class. I look forward to a fun morning!

On Wednesday 29th November from 9.30 until 10.30am we have our transition morning.

Each class will be moving to their 2024 classrooms to meet their new teacher and become familiar with the environment. We even welcome our new Kindy children to school on that morning. There will be lots of excited students and teachers on 29th November and it promises to be an exciting morning.

This year we are very excited to again be putting on a Christmas Concert for our community. The concert will take place on Thursday 30th November. Each class from Kindy to Year 6 will be involved along with our choirs. The P&F book awards will also be handed out on this evening.

The timetable for the evening is as follows:

5.30pm - Students to classrooms

5.45pm - Welcome & Prayer

5.50pm - P&F Book Awards

Congratulations to our two teams who participated in the Lego Robotics Challenge at Aquinas College last Sunday.

It was a full-on day for our students with each team being involved in presenting an innovation project to the judges and completing missions with their robots against 30 other schools. Many of the teams were composed of students up to Year 9 (we fielded teams from Years 4-6).

Well done to our Smartbots who took out the Rising All Star Award. The students worked very hard over this semester to hone their coding skills as well as their research and presentation skills. The biggest thankyou to Mrs Beacher who has guided the teams to produce an excellent standard of work.
