From the Principal...

Term 3 - Week 7

Dear families, 

Year 5/6B had an awesome time at Noosa North Shore. They returned exhausted and a big shout out goes to Mr Barnes, Mrs Groves and Miss Corbett for the time and commitment to our students here at Central. 

Book Week Parade  tomorrow at 9am

Get your costumes ready!! Book Week parade is tomorrow! This is a great opportunity for students to literally ‘let their hair down’ and dress up as their favourite book character. The imaginative costumes never fail to impress me and I am looking forward to seeing what this year brings. The costumes are judged and book prizes for the winners are on offer. 

If you would like to know more about Children’s Book Week, please have a look at the Children’s Book Council of Australia website.

School Disco

Remember, we are here to help 

Like always, if there is something that you want our support with, or if your child is struggling, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher for support.  If it is not a matter for the teacher please call the front office and arrange to meet with a member of the leadership team, so we can work through things together.  It takes a village to raise a child, so let’s work together. 

Warm regards,
Glenn Cafferky
