PARENT/CARER/TEACHER CONVERSATIONS

Thank you to all parents/carers who attended parent/carer/teacher conversations and to our teachers for their time and commitment. These discussions are an important part of supporting each student's learning and wellbeing.

Families in the classes of Ms Schefe, Ms Philp, Ms Doherty and Ms Elliott have received Compass notifications regarding conversations that will be held during the first week of Term 3 while these teachers are on long service leave. Ms Schefe's meetings will be held in the principal's office, while meetings for Ms Philp, Ms Doherty and Ms Elliott will take place in the Year 3 space (former Library), with entry via the OSHC door on Noila Street.

HOLIDAY WORKS

END OF TERM

We finished Term 2 in World Cup style, with students and staff wearing green and gold, enjoying a soccer-themed dance session, watching the GWPS World Cup finals and viewing the Socceroos' final pool match against Paraguay on the big screen. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the end of a successful term.

We wish all families a safe and enjoyable holiday break and look forward to welcoming students back on Tuesday 14th July. Staff return on Monday 13th July for a Curriculum Day (pupil free day) focused on progressing actions from our 2026 Annual Implementation Plan.
