Welcome back to Term 2.  We have so many exciting things to look forward to this term.

It was lovely to start off the term with our Defence student led ANZAC Day Liturgy.  Thanks to our special guests who came and delivered the ANZAC address, recited the Ode and laid a wreath and raised the flags.  We reflect on the blessings afforded to us through the sacrifice of those who came before us.

Playgrounds

Our Year 2 students will notice that over the holidays we had our wooden fort playspace removed.  Due to some ongoing compliance concerns, the fort was removed.  We will endeavour to replace this playspace.  In the meantime lots of imaginative play in the sand is possible.

The Tower Playground opened this week and has proved to be a hit.  Preps to Year 2 are NOT Permitted to use the playground.  It is designed for our older students from Year 3 - Year 6.  Adequate supervision and safety measures have been put in place to promote fun and safe play.  Urban Play (the designer and builder) conducted a photo shoot this week and we can’t wait to see the outcomes.

Camps

This term our Year 4’s, Year 5’s and Year 6’s will have the opportunity to attend various camps.  The students and teachers are all becoming quite excited.  This year we will have various members of the leadership team attending the different camps to assist in ensuring the fun, safety and expected behaviours of all students attending.

Draft Food and Drink Policy

Our school board has been working hard to develop our school policy for food and drink based upon our Healthy Eats Accreditation.  Can you please take some time to review the proposed Food and Drink Policy and then please fill in the attached survey (Link Here)

Carpark & Access Road

We thank everyone for their patience with the carpark changes.  Due to the recent rain, there has been a delay to the completion of the new access road.  The road is now not anticipated to be open until approximately 15th May.  As such Bishop Putney Drive will REMAIN OPEN for now.  More information will be provided closer to the proposed opening time.  Staff will continue to utilise the school carpark until the new temporary carpark is accessible via the access road.   We remind families that along with our school staff parking at their workplace, we also have Kindergarten and OSHC staff parking at their workplace.
