Dear Parents,

As announced in last week’s newsletter, Marie is enjoying some well-earned long service leave until the end of term, as too is Roy Thompson. In their absence we welcome Kylie Fairall to 4BM and Tom Boyer to 3T. Please do not hesitate to contact me if necessary.

We are looking forward to Year 2 hosting our Book Week Assembly this Friday at 9.30am in Mercy Hall. Year 2 are the stars of this show but we are all invited to attend dressed as a favourite book character – I wonder who we will see there? Parents and friends are invited to stay for a cuppa and morning tea after the performance and this will be provided by Year 1.

MJR Award
The MJR Award this week goes to Will Morrison in 6D for being helpful and friendly on the playground and for supporting others when they have problems.
