Easter Hat Parade
On Thursday next week (last day Term 1) the Prep, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students will be having an Easter hat parade from 9.10am. The students will make their own hats and parade them to our school community. Following the parade, the Prep class will present a special (and secret) musical item. They have been busily ‘rehearsing’ this item in preparation. Please come along and support our students during the parade and the musical item.

STOMP
All the students have been dancing during the week in preparation for their presentation to parents. As part of our Friday afternoon assembly, the students will be performing their dance to our community.
We will hold a normal assembly from 2.40pm with the dance to follow at approximately 3pm. All community members are welcome to attend.

Curriculum Day—Monday 24th April
School Council last night approved a curriculum day for the first day of Term 2, Monday 24th April. This day will be spent working through data sets in preparation for our school review in Term 3.
Pupil free day

Colour Run—Fun Night
Last Thursday we had a great night of colour and fun with our community. Current students, staff, parents, extended family and past students converged on the school oval resplendent in their white shirts, only to leave looking like an exhausted rainbow.
A huge thank you to everyone who came along. The smiles on the faces of young and old was fantastic.
A special thank you to the Lions Club for cooking the BBQ and the Fire Brigade for keeping everyone cool. Also to all the staff for their help in feeding the community and setting up/packing up, making the night a complete success.
Once again our fantastic school community was on display for all to see!!!!

Junior School Council—Eater Raffle
The Junior School Council have decided to run an Easter Raffle. They are asking for donations from our families and community. Any Easter eggs would be greatly appreciated.
There is a collection point in the front office for students and parents to drop off any donations. Once the donations are in, the JSC will organise them into prize packs. Traditionally we have tried to create as many prizes as possible so that more students have huge chocolate smiles.
The money raised will go towards upgrading and adding to our equipment for the sand pit. Raffle tickets have been sent home and many have already been returned. Thank you.

School Cross Country
On Wednesday 5th April we will be running our annual school cross country. Your child will compete in the age group that they turn this year. For example, Andrew turns 10 in Feb, so therefore he runs in the 10’s. Amy turns 8 in November so she runs in the 8’s, even though she is not yet 8 years old.
Students are encouraged to wear their house colours for the day.
Parents are invited to attend to cheer on the students.
The start times are listed.

Birthdays: Maylana Anderson, Benjamin Connolly.

All the ordering is completed through Leading Image web site.
