We will be sending a final newsletter for the term next week as we have a lot of activities going on in Week 10 that we would like to report on. Therefore this week's newsletter is slightly shorter than normal. Please enjoy reading about the various activities going on in the school holidays in our Subi Farmers Market, Community News and E News sections. Enjoy.

The Uniform Shop is having a “SUPER SALE” to clear the preloved polar fleece jackets and fleecy trackpants!
There are a variety of sizes, and all items are reduced to $10. Come by and pick up a bargain on Tuesday or Thursday morning.

I am seeking good quality Kindy/Pre-primary polo shirts and royal blue jackets. If your child has outgrown theirs, please donate them
