Assemblies
During Terms 1 and 4 all Monday morning assemblies are held at the flagpole. In Terms 2 and 3 all assemblies are held in the portable classroom next to the basketball court with each classroom responsible for a special presentation. Families are most welcome to attend all assemblies to celebrate achievements in our school. It is at these assemblies that our Awards Certificates are presented.
School Camps
Camp details will be provided in due course.
Head Lice
It is important to find any infection early as treatment is then relatively easy. Head lice can spread quickly and parents should notify the school if they are aware of any infection.
School inspections can be made at any time on the authority of the Shire Health Inspector and are made in all schools whenever an infection is suspected. Parents are trained by the School Nurse to do our inspections. We do require helpers for this service so if you are able to please let the school office know ASAP. A fact sheet about head lice is available here.
