BOOK DROP OFF MORNING
– Friday, 24th January – 8 to 9 am
Every year we have a Book Drop Off morning prior to the children starting the first day back. Next year this morning will be on Friday, 24th January from 8 to 9 am. It is a great opportunity for you to touch base with the teacher and help alleviate the first day back from carting books etc. We look forward to seeing you at the Book Drop Off morning.

PEAK 2 PARK – TOOWOOMBA 2014
Next year the organisers of the local Peak 2 Park Family Run have asked whether we would like to enter this event as a school community.

WELCOME BBQ
Friday 21 February 2014
This night is a great opportunity for us to welcome new families to our school, mingle with old faces and spend time with our own families. It is important that you are aware children are expected to perform on the night so we look forward to seeing all the children attend. We do encourage everyone to stay for the whole night but families with little ones are welcome to leave if they are tired. Please let your child’s classroom teacher know if you are not attending the night. The evening will be a great night to relax, meet others and watch the children perform.
