World Book Day

Next Thursday March 6th is World Book Day, we will be celebrating it here at the school with lots of activities, storytelling and dressing up.  The girls can dress up as a character from a book but please do not go to any expense.

By using their imagination and being inventive the girls can wear something warm and comfortable that they already have at home. We look forward to seeing all the wonderful creations and ideas as always.

 Collection

We are making a slight change to the collection procedure for 1st – 6th class at the end of the school day. This is to ensure that everyone is as safe as possible when leaving school and to avoid congestion on the footpath outside the school at busy times.


From Monday coming March 3rd, at collection time (2.45pm/2.50pm depending on the class), girls who are waiting to be collected will stay inside the fence on the playground.
If girls are walking home themselves, they can leave as they usually do.


If girls are being collected, they will wait on the playground with their class/teacher. When they see who is collecting them, they will inform the teacher who will give them permission to leave safely.

Hot Meals
Our Wellbeing Warriors have been working as hard as ever in making the school a better place for everyone. At a recent meeting, they suggested that ketchup is made available to classes on Friday only. Having considered their proposal and how it will work, we will introduce ketchup on Fridays which will start sometime during March. If you would rather your daughter not have ketchup with her hot meal on Friday, please message the class teacher/Tracey on Aladdin.
