During Week 8, we look forward to beginning our beach safety program. In this program, students will participate in a Beach/Water Safety Program at Greenmount Beach. The students will be taken through beach safety talks (flags, signs they will see, how to identify rips, what to do if they get in trouble, simple beach rules), and participate in beach games. They will participate in structured water activities in the shallow water between the flags. Thank you to the parents who have volunteered their time to help support this program. Please find a volunteer schedule in the parent resources below. 

We also thank all the families who have graciously donated to our Mini Vinnies Christmas Appeal. We will have a basket in the Year 5 classroom for the remainder of term 4 and are asking the students to bring in any non-perishable food items and personal hygiene products to add to our donation. 

Join us for Waste-Free Wednesday! 🌱 Every Wednesday, we challenge you to make a difference by creating as little waste as possible in your lunchbox! Please see the flyer in the parent resources section for more information.

We encourage children to exchange Christmas cards at this joyful time of the year.  Please refrain from including candy canes, chocolates, lollies or other treats with cards.  We thank you for your assistance.
