Head of Primary
ANZAC Service
Primary students and leaders took part in our ANZAC service on Wednesday. Our Captains laid a wreath and prayed for those who have served and are still serving our nation in our defense forces. Respectfully our students listened to Mr Rochford read The Fallen, and then together we recited The Ode and stood for the Last Post and a moments silence. Take time this week to talk with your children about the important act of service these men, women and animals gave for our country.
Haircuts and Styles
There are many styles of hair cuts in fashion at the moment, however I would like to remind all families that hair styles are not to be extreme or draw undue attention. It is also important to mention that ALL hair on boys and girls that touches the collar needs to be tied up using a black, red or neutral hair tie.

Primary Choir
Choir begins for Years 1 - 6 each Tuesday morning at 8:00am in the CAPA5 Theatre. Children need to walk down the path next to the MPC, rather than walking down the road, which staff cars use at this time. Mrs Munro and Mrs Burton look forward to a wonderful time of creativity and fun together. Auditions are not required – all are welcome to join.
