Congratulations To: Finley (1J) 6, Oliver (6E) 11, Aliza (2M) 7, Callum (4G) 9. Casey (5J) 10, Jaiden (NPM) 4, Chad (3O) 8, Keivin (5S) 10 & Mrs Belbagi who celebrate a birthday this week. These birthdays, along with the ones next week and birthdays that occur during the holiday will be celebrated in assembly on 19th December. SWIMMING If a child has suffered from sickness & diarrhoea, they will miss swimming for 2 weeks after the illness. However, this is the only reason that a child should miss swimming. If a child is well enough to be in school, they are well enough to swim. Having coughs and sniffles is not a good enough reason to miss swimming. The final assembly for this year will take place on Wednesday 21st December at 9 am, when we will draw the tickets for the Christmas raffle and the Teddy Bear raffle. Parents are most welcome to attend.
Week beginning 5th December Early Bird & Attendance Whitings Hill target 96.5%. Whole school attendance for this week 95.5% Congratulations to Class 2W who had the lowest late marks and to classes 2W, 4G & 5J who had 98% attendance 100
