Trinity Commons
Last week I met with staff overseeing the community development programs being established in the newly renovated ‘Trinity Commons’ precinct in Church Street, Fortitude Valley. There are opportunities for partnerships with our project groups and to support the open day on the 31st March with a senior choir performance. Further information will be shared as the details are confirmed.
LOOK OUT Program
This week I have attached the school’s LOOK OUT program information for all families. Being part of the program means you understand the rules of the program and are able to display your family name tag on your visor so that staff know who you are dropping or collecting. Thank you to everyone for showing courtesy and patience.
See attached Program and Registration forms.
