National Simultaneous Storytime is in its 24th big year! On this special day, students and teachers all read the same book, fostering a sense of community and excitement around reading. It’s the perfect way to get our kids excited about books and learning!  This year it will be held on Wednesday 22 May 2024.  Our classes will all read “Bowerbird Blues“ by Aura Parker at the same time in unison with the Nation.

Last year we combined these two days and conducted a walking pirate ship. It was extremely good fun and very successful. This year, our commitment to Pirate Day for Childhood Brain Cancer is more important and personal than ever. Our walking Pirate Ship and Pirate Day fundraiser will be held on Friday 17 May. We will start the walking ship from the car park at the back of Parky Hall, due to the works being conducted there, and walk the path that goes past the old school building.

Thank-you to Anita Shurlock who has organised the Mother’s Day stall from Wednesday to Friday this week at recess and thank-you to her army of volunteers who will man the stall and who have made gifts. Gifts will range from $2 to $14 with the greater portion sitting between $4-$7.  The stall will be open each recess from Wednesday to Friday.
