Week 9, Term 4
A note from Mr Pardini
And just like that the year has come to an end!
We celebrated an awesome night on Tuesday with our carols on the oval. Thank you for your attendance to make the night so special - I know the children loved entertaining their families. A big thanks for the amazing staff for making this happen. We hope you enjoyed all the anctics and song as we lead into the festive season. Many of you enjoyed a delicious gourmet box which was prepared by Kristan Banks our canteen manager - thank you Kristan and Blair for your effort in making these happen.
As we move into the holiday period, may I take this opportunity to thank all our families for their support of our teaching and learning programs this year. I hope that everyone can enjoy a well-earned break over the Christmas holiday period.
The first day back for students is Wednesday 1 February. The school office will be open from Friday 27 January. For uniform orders, you may wish to use CDF pay over the holidays (at your leisure) and your order will be ready to collect from Monday 30 January.
Happy and Holy Christmas, peace, love and joy to one and all.
See you all in 2023!
Carlo Pardini
Principal

Norne Playground - Official Opening
Thank you to our wonderful P&F for providing a free sausage sizzle yesterday to officially open our new playground structure. We enjoyed a nice afternoon under the shade of the trees. The opening was made even more special with Simon, Kim and Brodie Kane present to share the moment when we opened the playground in the Declan Kane Nature playground. The norne structure feels like it has always been there and we know it will be enjoyed by many students for years to come!
