Dear Parents,
Congratulations to the Trivia Night Team - Donna Campbell, Sarah & Lincoln Easton, Tegan Lloyd, Julia Cannell, Marisa Manakis, Jo Frith, Matt Burgess, Suzanne Commerford, Michelle Williams, Melissa McLoughlin, Bec Saunders, Danny Maher and all parents who contributed to making Friday night such a success. It was wonderful to see everyone dressed up in the Vegas theme and enjoying a fun night of trivia. A special thanks to Michael Hanney, Principal at St Peter's for allowing us to use the Hall. It was the perfect space to spread out and catch up with friends. If you have not collected any prizes from the night please come and collect yours from the office as soon as possible.

Inappropriate Content - Huggy Wuggy
It has come to our attention that some of the junior students are talking about and playing a game called Huggy Wuggy. It is apparently an online character from youtube.
It seems to be a horror character disguised as a child-friendly toy/video on youtube.
Here are some articles:

Year 3 Learning Assemblies
It was great to see so many of the Year 3 parents attend the Learning Assemblies in the Digital Learning space last week. Many creative minds came together to design and code lego. The parents even came up with some ideas of their own!
Enjoy your weekends.
