No hat / No play school policy - Term 4
☀️ No Hat, No Play - Reminder
From today, our “No Hat, No Play” policy is back in place.
All students are required to wear a school hat when outside during breaks and outdoor activities.
Students without a hat will need to stay in the shaded area.
Please make sure your child’s hat is clearly named and kept at school each day.
If you need to purchase a new hat, they’re available from PSW:

2025 Art Show - Creative Ties reminder
As part of this year’s Art Show, don’t forget our special Creative Ties section - a chance for students and families to showcase artworks made outside of school.
Whether it’s painting, drawing, photography, pottery, woodworking, or any other creative project, we’d love to celebrate it!
There’s no judging and no pressure - just a celebration of the creativity that lives in and beyond our classrooms.
Please have all artwork in by this Friday, 10th October.
We can’t wait to see what our talented community has been creating at our Art Show next Monday, 13th October, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
