***FACTION CARNIVAL POSTPONED***

Due to the forecast of inclement weather, we have made the decision to postpone the Faction Carnival originally scheduled for this Friday. The safety and

wellbeing of our students, staff, and families is our top priority.

We are pleased to advise that the carnival has been rescheduled to Friday, 31 October 2025.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to a fun and successful event on the new date!

The timetable for Friday's Sports Carnival has been posted in Compass. Please check the Compass app for more details.

Wouldn’t it be great if all of your child’s information was available in one place? If communication was as simple as the click of a few buttons? If payment and consent for events could be made from your phone? We thought so, too.

Our amazing year 6 students have received the first of many sports' equipment rewards for their amazing behaviour and attitudes at the camp last term. They will be responsible for looking after these balls for the term and before they go into the main collection for general use next year.

We will be awarding more balls to deserving classes throughout the term.

Please be reminded as we head into Term 4 that all children must have a hat during playtime and Sport lessons. If your child does not have a hat they will be asked to play in the undercover area or shaded alcove area.

Hats are available to purchase from the Uniform Concepts Superstore in Port Kennedy which is open 5 days per week.
