sizzle. We look forward to getting to know you better.

Friday
Sausage Sizzle Lunches
On Fridays from next week until the end of term sausages will be
for sale at lunchtime. Cost is $2 for a sausage, bread and sauce. If you wish
to put in an order please put the money in an envelope and write on the front
who it is for then hand it in to the office on Friday morning.
Performance
We are excited about the upcoming performance
of “Oh the Places You will Go” this Friday 29th November
@7.00pm. We have sold about 80 tickets .
Please encourage friends and family to attend. It would be very encouraging for
our children to play to a full house.
We are performing a matinee performance of our show on Friday
morning for The Beehive Childcare Centre.
Tickets are available from the office and cost
$10 per adult and $5 per child.
Friday Early Finish
As the children are very tired and Friday will be a long day for
them children may go home early at 12.30
after the matinee performance so they can have a restful afternoon. The children need to be back at school at
6.00 to prepare for their evening performance.
