Dear Families,

Those of you who have driven past the school lately may have noticed that work on the PFAS remediation has begun. I have to say, I have never been so excited to watch dirt move and have spent a little time with the preschoolers watching the diggers at work.

We have been very lucky to have had a few sunny, windless days to be able to move the soil. I would like to reassure families that the excavators are taking all precautions to ensure that the dust does not blow onto children in the playground. If the wind ever does pick-up we will follow our procedures including wetting down the soil, taking the children indoors and ceasing digging if we are not able to prevent dust from impacting on the students.

Colour Run
It was wonderful to be able to hold our Colour Run on Friday. Students and staff had a wonderful time completing the obstacle course set up by BFirm and taking part in the various stations. The Colour Run was a little different again this year as we needed to keep cohorts separated. A huge thank you must go to Mrs Carmen Myles for organising the event in conjunction with the School Community Council. So far we have raised over $15 000 (gross) with some funds still to come in. The money will go towards purchasing new readers, iPads and interactive boards for classrooms. Thank you for supporting this event, your children will definitely benefit from these new resources.

Christmas Carols
We are still hopeful that the weather will be on our side and we will be able to hold the SCC Christmas Carols tomorrow evening. This will be a great opportunity for our community to get together one last time before the year ends. Families can start arriving at 5.30 with the event commencing at 6pm. I would like to thank the School Community Council for organising this event and the classroom teachers for practicing carols over the last few weeks.

Reports
A reminder that Semester 2 reports will be sent home via Compass this term. You will receive a notification that they are available for viewing via the Compass Parent Portal on Friday, 10th December at noon. Please ensure that you have access to Compass. If you experience any difficulties, don't hesitate to contact the office for assistance.

Take care and God Bless
