FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Parents & Guardians

Welcome to Week 6

A reminder that our Parents and Friends Association Annual General Meeting will be held in the school library this Thursday evening at 6:00pm.  Please come along and meet some new people while also contributing toward the future direction of our lovely little school.  Hope to see you there.

As the end of the school year draws near, we still have a few significant events to celebrate on the Joey’s calendar.  One of these events being our school Presentation Night on Thursday, 23^rd November.

The evening will be held in the school Multi-Purpose Area beginning promptly at 6:00pm.

Each grade level, including the Kindy, have been working hard to prepare a Christmas song to perform on the night, which will also include the presentation of our annual awards that recognise the efforts of students throughout the entire year.

I would ask that during the evening we keep general conversation to a minimum as a form of respect for those performing or presenting and receiving awards on the night.

The night is anticipated to conclude at approximately 7:45pm and it would be lovely to see as many of our students and their families come along and attend.

Last week all eldest students in the family would have received a yellow ‘2024 School Fee Schedule’ to take home. Following this, some families will be receiving a Personalised 2024 Fee Calculation in the mail. Even though this is an approximate amount, I thank Megan for her hard work and commitment, as she has tried to make it as close as possible for families to work out fee payments and remain informed of their commitments for next year.

If you did not receive one of these calculations and would like one, or if you have any questions in relation to them, please do not hesitate to contact our Finance Secretary – Megan Crosthwaite on 4994 8205.

This Saturday is Remembrance Day.  As this is not a school day, we will be holding a special assembly this Friday in the MPA commencing at 10:45am and concluding at approximately 11:00am.  All are welcome to attend.

Have a great week.
