King's birthday public holiday

Date

12 June

Time

All day

Location
School closed

The monarch's birthday has been celebrated in the United Kingdom since 1748, during the reign of King George II. Even when their real birthday was in May or June, the celebration was often on a different date. Edward VII, who reigned from 1901 to 1910 and whose birthday was on 9 November, moved his official birthday to summer, in the hope of good weather. King George VI, born on 14 December, celebrated his official birthday from 7 to 12 June. Queen Elizabeth II's official birthday was (usually) the second Monday in June. King Charles III's was announced as also being the second Monday in June.

P&C meeting

14 June

Time

6:30-7:30 PM

Location
Library

All are welcome to come & contribute positively to our students' lives. If you would like to join, please bring along $2 joining fee. It's a good chance to find out what the school's directions are and an opportunity to contribute ideas and come up with ways of helping 'our' students. Parent associations are a great way to: Get the inside story on what’s really happening in the school (not the gossip). The principal usually is available to answer questions and teachers sometimes attend too. Influence school policy (want to see a change? Lobby through the P&C). Have a say in the development of school activities such as excursions and camps and curriculum. Guide school management in its financial planning by helping prioritise the resource wish-list. Contribute to the school’s resources through various fundraising projects. Meet other parents.

Do you have a child starting Kindergarten next Year? Come along and join our Kindergarten Transition Group. Transition group runs on Wednesday mornings from 9:30 am until 10:45 am. Does not run during school holidays. Transition will be held in our School Library. We encourage you to let your child leave the hall with our qualified teaching staff (Mrs Sannio, Mrs Azevedo and/or Mrs Haviland) as they go to the Library for the Transition Class. During Transition time, we ask that you remain in the hall with Miss Amanda (our Community Liaison Officer) and/or Ms Veronica Kinchela (our Aboriginal Education Officer). You can enjoy a tea/coffee and refreshments, get to know other parents, as well as chat to our staff about our school. There will be some information sessions held throughout the year that will help you understand Kindergarten and school life, as well as assist with how you can help your child at home with their learning. It is imperative that you stay on school grounds for the duration of the Transition Group Class.
