Dear Parents and Caregivers, New Website Launch On Friday 25 July, today, our new website goes live. At the moment when you look up [email protected] you will still see our old website; this will be replaced by the new one.

This week the newsletter will now be accessible through the website. One of the big ad-vantages of the new website will be that it is linked to the Q Schools app. The Q Schools app is available free on your smartphone, and filters all of the current newsletters, news articles and calendar events as they are uploaded to the website. Prep Information Evening Thank you to the 50 parents who were able to make the Prep Information Evening last Wednesday. It was wonderful to see so many of our new parents in the Library to hear about the wonderful work that is going on in our Prep classrooms. School Tours Interested in finding out about what wonderful things that happen in our school? Why not take a tour of our school with one of our administration staff to find out about our facilities, our school program and ask any questions you might have along the way. Meet us at the administration building for the guided tour of our school. Tour Dates: Friday 29 August 2014 from 9.30am - 10.30am Wednesday 17 September 2014 from 9.30am - 10.30am OR Friday 31 October 2014 from 1.30pm - 2.30pm (the tours are the same) Ekka Tours As you may have noticed in our ‘Upcoming Events’ column a number of our classes are heading to the Ekka this year. I know as a child myself a trip to the Ekka was one of the highlights of my school year, so I’m sure our students will have some wonderful experiences to talk about when they return from their time of when ‘the country comes to the city’. Kind regards, Kelly Jeppesen Principal
