Parents transport their own children to Dolamore Park if possible. If you cannot attend the school picnic and cannot arrange a friend to transport your child/children, please let your child’s teacher know. Staff members will transport any children who need a ride to the school picnic.
Children will need their togs and a towel for the water slide, a sun hat, sunscreen, gym shoes for the bush walk and clothing to suit the day. Children need a packed lunch and drink bottle or alternatively families can pack their own picnic basket.
The Great School Water Fight
On Wednesday 16 December we will have the annual Great School Water Fight. The Water Fight takes place after lunch and there is a separate area for Juniors and Seniors. Students need to bring along water pistols, drink bottles or containers for the water fight. No water balloons are allowed as they create too much rubbish. Please ensure your child brings their togs or shorts and a t-shirt and a towel for the water fight. Children do not have to participate, it is by choice only.
Working Bee
On Wednesday 3 February we will be having a working bee to paint the lines on the courts and have a general tidy up of any other jobs that need done. Your help would be greatly appreciated if you are available to attend. We will advise of times and further information via school stream in January.
