Chinese New Year – Lion Dance

Thank you to Mrs Chen and Ms Lee for once again organising our annual Lion Dance Performance.  Prep – Year 6 students and staff enjoyed the performance last Friday afternoon.  The performers were full of energy and the audience loved it.

Look Out Program                 

Thank you to all parents who have registered for our Look Out Program – registering means you understand the rules of our Pick Up / Drop Off zone and get a name tag for display on your car visor. Most drivers are doing a great job and we really appreciate the cooperation shown.  Some concerns I still have are:

  • Drivers should not park and leave their vehicle when using the Annie Street zone
  • Many cars do not have student name tags clearly displayed
  • Parents with children are walking in between cars to cross the road rather than using the crossing which is available. This is a major safety concern and distracting for staff who are helping students in and out of cars.
  • Drivers using Heal Street should be aware this not our designated ‘pick up / drop off’ zone and not supervised by staff. It is important drivers follow the usual traffic rules.
  • Infringement notices are under the realm of Brisbane City Council and Traffic Police. The school does not have any influence on such.   

See attached the Look Out Registration form – once you send that in to the office your child will get a new label for your car.  Thank you for helping us get this working well.

2024 Student Leaders – Congratulations to all our Captains, see below.  These students will receive their captain’s shirts on assembly this week.  The official leaders’ induction and badge ceremony is scheduled for later this term on Thursday 14 March.  Year 6 parents and families are welcomed to attend.
