National Cheese Pizza Day… A good day to enjoy a cheese pizza? A super day to make our very own cheese pizzas and cook them in a pizza oven…at school!    

On Friday, our Year 5 and 6 basketball teams participated in the Hoop Time competition at Warrnambool Stadium. We are proud of the determination, teamwork and sportsmanship displayed by all of our players throughout the day. Thank you to our couches and parents for supporting our teams on the day.

Happy Father's Day to all of our Dads, Father figures, Grandfathers, and to the significant men in our lives.
