Welcome to Term 3!

Dear Parents and Carers

Welcome back! We hope you had a wonderful break and were able to enjoy some precious time with family. The gift of rest, connection and a chance to re-charge is something we don’t take for granted and we trust the holidays brought a moment to pause and refresh.

A big thank you to all the parents who attended parent-teacher interviews yesterday. Your presence and ongoing support mean so much to us. We firmly believe that a strong partnership between home and school is key to every child’s success and we’re grateful to walk this learning journey alongside you.

As we step into this new term, our hearts are full of excitement for all that lies ahead. From swimming lessons for our Year 1 to Year 4 students, to Father’s Day celebrations, the magic of Book Week, our vibrant House Athletics Carnival and of course, the much-anticipated Peter Pan Jr Production, there is so much to look forward to! On top of these special events, our classrooms will continue to buzz with rich learning experiences, nurturing curiosity, creativity and growth in every child.

We would like to extend a very warm welcome to all new families joining our wonderful school community. We are so thrilled to have you with us and look forward to sharing this journey together.

Here’s to an amazing Term 3, full of joy, learning and opportunities to shine!

Warm regards

Lost Property

A friendly reminder to check lost property, located in the Reception Office (just near the door to the Primary Forum). All uniform items labelled with names, were returned to the relevant classrooms on Monday, however we still seem to have a large number of unclaimed water bottles, head bands and food containers.

Please remember to label all items with your child’s name as it does help reunite them with their owner.

Crazy Socks Day

Thank you to our wonderful community for your generous donations!

Enjoy your holidays………..

This week, our Primary School is alive with the vibrant energy of our annual Arts & Academic Festival, a cherished tradition that celebrates the courage and creativity of our students. From captivating performances to impressive academic displays, our young learners step beyond their comfort zones, embracing new challenges with enthusiasm and resilience.

Stepping out of one’s comfort zone is vital for personal growth. When children engage in unfamiliar activities, they build confidence, adaptability and a willingness to take risks, skills that are essential for lifelong learning and success.

The Arts & Academics Festival provides a platform for students to shine in diverse ways, be it through the arts or academics. This inclusive environment nurtures not only intellectual development but also emotional and social wellbeing.

A heartfelt thank you to our audience, parents, peers and staff, whose respectful and enthusiastic support creates a nurturing atmosphere for our students to thrive. Your encouragement plays a crucial role in fostering their growth and confidence.

We are incredibly fortunate to have such an enriching tradition in our school calendar. The Arts & Academic Festival is more than an event; it’s a celebration of our community’s commitment to holistic education and the development of well-rounded individuals.
