From the Principal
Dear Parents,
As you know we have quite a large Brazilian community in our school. I wanted to firstly send a big hug to all of these families. I was very saddened to hear of the plane crash that happened in Sao Paulo earlier this week, and the amount of people that passed away. I know of at least one family in our school, who had relatives on board. Please join me in praying for that family and everyone involved.
Book Week:
A separate note went out today about book week. We always have great fun and our students will be participating in a range of activities, it is always a wonderful week as our students celebrate reading. On Thursday all students can come dressed as their favourite book characters, all of you are invited to our book parade at 9.00am. A reminder that we are a proudly Christian school, without me sending out an exhaustive list of what is and isn’t appropriate.
Musical:
Our Musical is in full swing with less than a month to go. Students are expected to be at school for both nights with the arrival time roughly at 5.30pm, a final confirmation will be sent out shortly. Our cast and staff are working so hard, I know it will be an awesome two nights of celebrating our students and our school.
My door is always open,
Joe Britton
