Good afternoon and welcome to week 8 Today the children have brought home a research assignment.  The task is for them to create a fact file on a Major Australian Place, although I am happy with any place within Australia provided they can complete the fact file.

Mrs Meyer has sent out a link today with a schedule for Reconciliation.  Please, if your child is completing the Sacrament, at your earliest convenience can you access and record your name. WHEELIE,
