Dear Families,
Thank you to our volunteers, you have been invaluable to the school. Without you, fields trips and special events would not be possible. We look forward to honoring you at our Volunteer Tea and show our appreciation through HEART.
Thank you to School (Parent) Council, our Grade 6 students enjoyed the great outdoors and activities at Camp Kindle this week. Your fundraising and generous support provided a lifetime opportunity and memories for them.
The Grade 5/6 student patrollers were able to celebrate their hard work at the Heritage Park Patroller Picnic this week too, thanks to the support of School (Parent) Council.

We will have a variety of outdoor Indigenous activities, games and other stations for students to engage with.
