Principal's Message

 

 

Dear Students, Parents, Carers and Families,

 

HOME LEARNING 3.0

Thank you and well done to all of our students and families for adapting so quickly to the change in school this week. This having been our third lockdown we are relatively old hands at learning from home. 

 

Please ensure your child/ren bring all completed learning activities to their class teacher. 

 

We are grateful for the fact that it was only three days but also for all of the support and understanding from our families!

 

 

STUDENT LEADERSHIP PRESENTATION ASSEMBLY - RESCHEDULED

On Monday we regretfully postponed our student Leadership Presentation Assembly due to the snap lockdown. While the lockdown has thankfully ended, we anticipated there would be residual restrictions implemented by the DET that would prevent our parents and carers from attending this special event.

 

While the event is an RSVP only for families of students being presented with a leadership badge we wanted to ensure all families have enough time to plan ahead and for any restrictions around gatherings to be eased. Therefore, we have rescheduled the event to Friday the 5th March starting at 9:15 am.

 

We thank you all for your understanding and support!
