Message from the office
We are coming to the close of a very busy term and the teachers have worked hard with our girls to get them ready for their respective productions. I hope that you have managed to purchase a ticket to watch the show. I know that you are in for a treat and that it will mean the world to your daughter to see you in the audience!!
On Monday 16 September we will celebrate Heritage Day. Girls can come dressed in celebration of their heritage. There will be no cost.
Please note that Term 3 reports will be handed out at 10:30 on Friday. These reports will be given to your girls before they are dismissed for their school holiday. NO report will be handed out before this time. Please do NOT come to the office requesting reports earlier as the office staff DO NOT have the reports.
Extramurals are now finished for this term (except for IP Choir in the morning). Please note the following collection times for next week:
Monday & Tuesday Grade 1-7 – 13:00
Wed. & Thurs. Grade 00-7 – 14:00
Please note that on Wednesday & Thursday due to the Gr 00-3 Production, traffic will be congested in the front of the school. Please be patient during collections.
