Dear parents and carers,

It is hard to believe that we have come to the end of the term already. Your child’s written reports will be sent home on Friday. I congratulate the students on managing to continue to work hard through the ups and downs of the term. The lock down with return to remote learning along with the interruption of the floods caused some disruption, however, I am happy to say that things went on as normal with the student’s learning and wellbeing. Thank you to all staff for their continuous hard work over the term.

Congratulations to our year 6 students who received the sacrament of Confirmation last Thursday and Friday. It was a wonderful celebration and quite moving as Bishop Greg anointed our young ones during their final initiation into the church. Well done to everyone concerned in helping them prepare for this very special event in their lives.

Seasons for Growth will be starting in week 2 next term for those who are involved in this support program and the make up for lock down swimming classes for years 3-6 will resume in week 2 as well.

I wish everyone a restful and refreshing break over the holidays, and special best wishes to Sue Couling as she begins her well deserved long service leave. Enjoy!

Best wishes,

Stay safe and best wishes

Roslyn Joyner

CHILD SAFETY

Next week we will be moving to an automatic locking system for external doors.  All schools are moving to this new security system in order to make school environments safer for the school community.  It is one of the many strategies being implemented for child safety.  Reception and classrooms will be open from 8.30am until 4.00pm only.  Before and after these times, access can only be gained through the use of a staff fob.
