Language Acquisition

Try to create opportunities for ELL/English B students to be successful. Praise their achievements.

Four Square Only

We have had a number of incidents where people have been hit and hurt by a ball that has been kicked or thrown by students who are playing on the concrete area in front of the school. Please move your soccer/football games to the grass or the soccer pitch at break time and before and after school.

Thanks for keeping our school entrance safe from flying footballs!

The trophy is on display in the Centre foyer-please let it be a reminder that we all have the power to improve the state of the planet. We just need the will and empathy.
