Project Compassion
A huge thank you for your participation in Project Compassion 2021. Your kind and generous support for our fundraising efforts this Lent has helped us raise over $2000 to help support the world's poor. Thank you to the icy cup helpers for the generosity of your time and assistance. It has been greatly appreciated.
Thank you to Mr and Mrs Bennett and the Year 6 buskers who provided a joyful start to our Wednesday mornings during Lent. Thank you to Stella's Little Store for being willing to donate your profits to Project Compassion. Unfortunately, Stella's Little Store was unable to sell her products due to the Covid restrictions, however, we hope Stella will be able to hold her stall later in the year.

Year 5 Litpro Readers: This year our Year 5 students are participating in an online reading program. The children read books from the library at their reading level and complete a quiz about the book. They have to read approximately 30 books to win a free book from Book Club. Sienna Pietrobon, Audrey Burbidge and Daniel O'Brien are our first certificate winners. Congratulations!
