Dear parents and carers,

This weekend, the Taroona Primary School Association held a highly successful quiz night. It was a packed house with great food, company, music, costumes and laughter.

Thank you to all those who attended and contributed to make it such a success. A special thanks must go to the organising committee for their energy, dedication and community spirit. This event raised money for playground upgrades to our school, swings being a top priority, which the students are hanging out for! Thank you to all.

Help your child learn new words by pointing and talking about
what’s around you – at home or when out on a walk.

The more you talk and respond, the stronger your child’s
communication skills will grow.

But we need your help to make it happen!

This is a project that our kids will enjoy for years to come, and we’d love the whole Taroona Primary School community to get behind it.
