What a wonderful first Prep to 6 Sharing Assembly this week… and thank you to families for joining us to enjoy great learning snapshots from classrooms. And for the many positive feedback comments. Our new Student Leaders, Addison, April, Eli and Sienna certainly displayed great confidence in host their first school event! A reminder to come along for the next two Thursday afternoon Assemblies to end this term where our Group 2 and 3 classes will have their sharing turn.

Early Notice of School Anzac Day March – Friday 25 April (in week 2 of the school holidays)

Table Cape Primary School will be attending the Wynyard Community ANZAC Service at 11am on Friday April 25 (in the school holiday break). All students are welcome to join the School’s marching group, scheduled to leave the former RSL at 10:30am, and attend the Service at the Wynyard Cenotaph.

To attend with our School, children must be in full school uniform, be dropped off and collected by an adult who signs them in and provides contact details. Students will be representing their School Community and behaviour expectations will be high. Students in Kinder to Grade 2 will require an older sibling or adult to walk with and accompany them through the lengthy, formal service (approx. hour from the start of the march to end of the service).

If your child would like to attend, then please contact our school office before the end of Term 1 to add them to our tentative school representative group list. On the actual morning, only students brought by an adult, who signs in and provides contact details, will be able to join the procession. Our Student Leaders will participate in the Service and lay a wreath on behalf of our School.

At the completion of the Service, children must be collected by the adult from the Cenotaph. The Service is expected to be finished by 11:30am.
