From the Acting Principal

We hope you enjoyed  the midweek break that  the Geelong Cup holiday gave us. We've all been enjoying the warmer weather we've had recently and as a SunSmart school, it's been fantastic to see so many staff and students wearing hats and sunscreen this term during outdoor activities.

Term 4 is always a busy time, and this year is no different. We are already preparing for 2025 while also beginning our Semester 2 assessment and reporting cycle, planning graduation ceremonies, and organising other end-of-year celebrations. Please note, we have two student-free days this term: Monday, November 4th, and Tuesday, November 5th.

This term, we’re excited to welcome Jess Murray, our new  nurse, and Jess Colbert, our new speech therapist.  We also congratulate Lynne Foote and Mon Cullen, familiar faces from our Reception desk, as they step into more permanent roles.

World Teachers Day

Tomorrow, we celebrate the dedication and incredible impact that our teachers have on the lives of our students. Their unwavering commitment, compassion, and creativity make

 a world of difference, helping each student grow, learn, and thrive. We are very proud of the work they do and very proud to work beside them all. We wish them  a day full of appreciation and admiration.  T                                                      

 Save the Date

Our end of year celebration will be held at school  on Thursday 19th Dec 11:30 - 1pm.  This will replace the end of year concert.  More details to come.

 Capital Works.

The work in the senior yard is nearing completion and we are hoping to have the playground back in use by the end of this month. The shelter is going to make a huge difference in allowing the students to play whilst sheltering from the sun and the rain. We’ve all  been looking at the  exercise equipment  through the fence and are very keen to try it out too.

School Crossing

For the safety of our students and to set a positive example, we kindly remind all parents, carers and students to use the designated school crossing at all times. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school community safe.
