Dear Parents and Carers,
Term 4 is well underway. This term we have welcomed several new families to our school and local community. We hope they are enjoying living in our beautiful area.
This term we started with Parent Teacher Interviews. It is always great to meet with parents and carers and have the opportunity to discuss the students' progress. Year 4 were fortunate to experience a fantastic camp at North Keppel Island Environmental Centre.
Our LEAP Pin Assembly was held on Friday 8. Students received pins and were acknowledged for participating in a wide range of LEAP projects. Some of these projects included Before School Reading, Numeracy or Phonics projects, Robotics, Lego projects and Science Club. Congratulations to the students who qualified for pins.
On Friday the 29 October we recognised two special days.

Day for Daniel: Students were encouraged to wear RED and bring along a Gold coin donation.
Day for Daniel is Australia's largest child safety education and awareness day.
How does my donation help?
With your donation, we can educate children, schools and families to recognise signs of harm, to react in a safe way and to report to adults who can help stop the abuse. Our Walk Tall counselling service helps young victims of crime on their journey to recovery. Your support no matter how big or small, can make a difference. https://danielmorcombe.com.au
