Ngutana Lui Excursion

​The Year 4 students will be going on an excursion to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Centre at Inala this Wednesday. This is the culminating activity for our Term One  History/English unit on "The First Australians". Students will need to wear their school uniform, and are required to bring a packed lunch, school hat and a water bottle. All students are expected to follow school rules whilst on the excursion. The bus will depart school at 9:00am, and we will return to school by 2:45pm.

Term One Portfolio

If you collected your child's portfolio on the Showcase Evening, it would be greatly appreciated if you brought this back during the first week. 
If you did not collect your child's portfolio on the Showcase Evening, I will be sending these home on the first day. Please return these by week three. 

As always, if you have any queries about your child's work samples or progress, please feel free to email me so we can discuss your concerns. 

Term Two Curriculum

We will send home the term overview letter by the end of week two.
