Welcome Back to Term 4.

It promises to be very busy as we close out 2020 over the next few months.  I hope that everyone has had a relaxing term break and are ready to get straight back into work.  The students have returned to school very well and settled back into their classes very quickly. 

TERM PLANNER

A revised Term 4 planner is now available on our website and on Schoolzine.  As we are a Waste Wise school hard copies will only be made available from the front office on request. 

MAGPIES SWOOPING

Magpies are starting to nest and there have been televised incidents of swooping where children have received eye injuries. 

When nesting, Magpies are very protective of their young.  Please ask your children to wear their hats to and from school, keep their eyes down or wear sunglasses etc to protect their eyes and move out of their way quickly if magpies are around.

Particular places to take care are around the large tree at the front of the school and if you walk along Anglesey Drive near the Winterfold Road end. Around Samson Park is also a place where magpies nest.   Starting early with reminders will make your children aware of what to do when magpies are around them.  Please remind them not to chase the birds.
