11 May 2012   De Lisle Netball Tournament.
What a fantastic time we had at the De Lisle Tournament. The team were in high spirits and did their very best in every match. Considering we had only had 2 training sessions before this tournament, they certainly did the school proud. We had comments from all of the other team coaches, (who had year 5 and 6 children only), saying how well they did and how impressive their positive attitude was. We finished the tournament with 3 points, the winning team having 9. So I would like to thank all of the children and parents for taking part! You made me very proud!!! P.S. I've put a few photos in the gallery, as well as the official scores on each class page.  More...

I was lucky enough to be able to pop in to see our Y3s and Y4s at PGL today. The sun was shining, the kids were buzzing and the staff were managing on a small amount of sleep. They are having a great time, I was able to join in on the archery session and watched them on the high ropes. What a lovely day.  More...

14 November 2011   Facebook - How to keep your child safe.
As a follow up to our E-Safety meeting for parents, I have added an interesting and informative document about the workings of Facebook security and I have put it on the 'Our School' page near such important policies as Child Protection. It is really worth a read and it may spark a discussion with your child. Do you know if they have a Facebook account? Do you know who they have as a friend? You might be very suprised.  More...
