Dear Parents and Guardians

This term has flown by. Again, thank you to those of you who have supported the school over the past three months. I would also like to especially thank those of you who have taken time to coach school teams this term. Without your assistance we would be unable to provide these opportunities for our students.

ONLINE UNIFORM SHOP As mentioned previously, we will be moving our uniform purchases online from Term 4 this year. Our supplier Argyle, will operate this platform for us. The Argyle Online Shop will be available at all times for parents to use. The school will hold a sample range of each item, if you wish to come and physically try uniform on. Uniform will not be available to purchase on Kindo. The new online ordering system will go live via the school website at 9.00am, 14th October. Brochures are available from the school office.

OUT OF SCHOOL CARE We are pleased to announce that we will be operating a programme through sKids. The information regarding when, where and how will be sent out separately to you. Please look out for this.

CAR PARKING Unfortunately despite our best efforts a small number of parents continue to park in the mobility carparks. and have decided reluctantly, that the only way forward will be to issue infringement notices to repeat offenders. This will be enforced from the beginning of Term 4.

WEARABLE ARTS 2019 Wow all of the students involved looked amazing! They wore their creations with pride and confidence.

We would like to thank all of our parents who helped out from the very beginning, and on the day of the event. Also a big thank you again to everyone in our community who donated materials for the students to use. A special shout out to Amanda Nevin who was our seamstress extraordinaire!
