Book Week
Awesome August is almost over and what fun it has been. Yesterday’s Book Week assembly was a wonderful celebration of our love of books. The variety of costumes worn by children from preschool to year 6 and by our teachers, thoroughly embraced this year’s theme “Australia! Story Country”. We had heros, gumnuts, bounty riders, koalas, wombats and even Grandma Poss! We had a great day.

Canberra Public Schools Commemorate ANZAC Day
Numerous Canberra public schools either commemorate ANZAC Day at the end of term 1 or at the commencement of term 2. One of the largest local events for schools is the Combined Primary Schools ANZAC and Peace Ceremony, hosted by the Returned and Services League (RSL) of Australia, Woden Valley Sub-Branch. Approximately 450 primary school students and teachers in the Woden Valley and Western Creek regions attended the ceremony, along with veterans and members from the RSL and the ACT Public Schools Senior Concert Band. The Directorate was represented by Ms Meredith Whitten, Deputy Director-General Organisational Integrity. An official address was given by Mr Llewellyn Roberts, the Deputy High Commissioner for New Zealand. Florey Primary School also hosted a very special ANZAC assembly with VIPs, Dr Brendan Nelson AO, Director of the Australian War Memorial
Warrant Officer Gerrard Gough and Major Kendall Crocker from the Australian Army; and Ruth, the explosive detection device dog.

Update from the Principal - 17 February 2016
Dear Parents and carers
I wish to provide you an update regarding the temporary relocation of students re the offensive odour in the school.
TAMS and Emergency Services have completed a thorough investigation. The Emergency Services team have advised that the odour is not hazardous and we are continuing to ventilate the school.
The source of the odour has been located and steps have been taken to rectify the problem.
Our school is now ready for children to return to class after recess.
Our wonderful teachers, support staff and admin team have ensured that the children have had a positive day.
Kind regards,
Anne Simpson
Principal
