Outdoor Education House Days

Newsletter Notice - March 8, 2023

Our House Days are taking place on Wednesday 5 April and Thursday 6 April 2023. As usual, we rely heavily on parent help to make this a successful experience for our students and appreciate the time you can give to ensure these activities can take place. We can guarantee that you will enjoy the day just as much as the children do.

Please find the links below to submit your help. 

Please see the 'House by Student list' to help you fill out the correct form. 

Further information will be sent out by your classroom teacher soon regarding activities and what your child will need to bring each day. 

Thank you for your help.
