Congratulations to all our students who have reached personal milestones this term. Thank you to all the parents and carers who attended interviews with our teachers this week which enables us to communicate student s achievements and how they can assist with their progress. The majority of our students have received their Bronze Awards and many will receive nomination for their Silver in Week 3 of next Term. We will have a very busy, exciting start to Term 3 with the Years 3 to 6 Athletics Carnivals, NAIDOC Day and our Education Week showcases all in the first 3 weeks. Student Safety Once again I would like to ask that parents do not park in the Staff car park. This is a very busy area in the afternoons. We now have transport vehicles that pick up children that need access. This is especially dangerous as there is only one access point and this feeds out onto the pedestrian crossing. Snake Trails Congratulations to our Snake Trails winners - 1S and 5T. The longest SNAKE in the school went to 5T with a length of 45.55m and 1S had a length of Total in the K-2 classes was metres and in 3-6 it was metres giving us the longest snake in the world with a total of metres.. but what does this total in dollar value? Thank you mathematician Rohnan Kelly from 2Q for providing the facts and figures.
