This is an extra issue of our newsletter containing some photos of the end of term events this week and some important information for Term 2.

Easter Parade

Our Easter Parade this morning was an amazing atmosphere to celebrate Easter and the end of our first term. Thank you to all of the families who supported our Easter Raffle, we were thrilled to have made $1350 which will go towards Junior school playground equipment. Congratulations to those families who won one of the hampers!

Student Leaders Reception

Our School Captains, Mitchy and Noah, and Vice Captains, Harper and Kiera, today joined with student leaders from across the City of Casey to receive a 2024 City of Casey Student Leaders lapel pin and hear some inspirational stories of how leaders can make a difference in their community.

Our students were lucky enough to hear from Luke S. Kennedy, international best-selling author, successful business owner and mental health advocate. Luke used his breathtaking story to inspire deep, lasting change and to motivate our leaders to develop mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Staffing News

Early next term (at the end of Week 2) we will be farewelling Mrs Sue Lumley as she takes on a Learning Specialist role at Ramlegh Park Primary School. Sue has worked with with me closely in recent years as one of our Assistant Principals, and has made a significant contribution to the improvement of teaching and learning across the school. She will be greatly missed by all and we wish her all the best in her new role.
