A Wonderful Start to the School Year!
We are delighted to share that the school year has begun on a very positive note! It has been wonderful to see students settling in, building connections and embracing new learning opportunities.
A heartfelt thank you to all parents and caregivers who attended our Parent Information Evenings over the last two weeks. Your presence and support mean so much to us and we value the strong partnership between home and school.
As always, we have an open-door policy and welcome you to reach out to us if you have any concerns. Parents are encouraged to make appointments with teachers to discuss any matters regarding their child’s learning. If reaching out via email, please allow 24 to 48 hours for a response, as our staff are dedicated to caring for and teaching the students in their care.
We look forward to a fantastic year ahead and appreciate your continued support!
