Happy Friday and last day of term 3!!!
We have a lot of lost property at the moment, most of it, unfortunatley, is unnamed. If you are missing any items, please feel free to come and have a look in term 4. At the end of the year, leftover lost property will be donated to charity. Please ensure that you label any belongings with your child/ren's names to avoid being lost.

Instrumental Music
Instrumental Music students recently attended workshops with other schools in the area to hone their skills and work with other conductors. Year 6 students spent two days working on a three new pieces and performed for the Year 3 students at Thornlands SS at the conclusion of the workshop. Year 5 students had a fun day at Birkdale SS where they learnt to portray emotions such as playful and serious through the music. Recruitment for 2024 will be happening shortly. Stay tuned for more information.
