From the Principal

Dear families,

State Lacrosse Finals – Outstanding Results!

We are incredibly proud to celebrate our students’ fantastic achievements at the State Lacrosse Finals last week. Both teams demonstrated exceptional skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout the competition.

Our Girls Team delivered an outstanding performance, finishing in 1st place and bringing home the State Championship title! Their determination, cooperation, and strategic play were evident in every match.

Our Boys/All-Gender Team also achieved an impressive result, placing 3rd overall. Their resilience, effort, and positive team spirit were a credit to themselves and our school community.

Congratulations to all players, coaches, and supporters. Your hard work, commitment, and enthusiasm have made our school incredibly proud. Well done, everyone!

Seaside Fair Success – A Record-Breaking Community Effort!

We are thrilled to share the outstanding success of our recent Seaside Fair, which raised in excess of $70,000 for our school community. This incredible result reflects the generosity, spirit, and hard work of everyone involved.

We are also delighted to announce that the on-the-day operational takings set a new benchmark, making this year’s fair a huge community success.

A huge thank you to Heidi, Sam, and the entire organising team for their extraordinary efforts, countless hours, and exceptional leadership. Their dedication ensured a smooth, vibrant, and engaging event that brought our community together in the best possible way.

Planning is already underway for the targeted grounds improvement project, which aims to increase passive recreation spaces for students while also expanding active play opportunities. This exciting upgrade will include the installation of a much-anticipated GaGa pit and sporting surface resurfacing.

The project is scheduled to take place during the Term 1 holidays.

Thank you once again to our amazing community for your ongoing support—this success truly belongs to all of us.

Principal’s Reflection

In next week’s newsletter I look forward to sharing my 2025 principal reflection. The reflection looks to celebrate the year that was and all that occurred and was achieved. The reflection also looks to acknowledge key data sets that the school utilises to measure its success.

Please find attached the staffing list for 2026

On Monday 8th December parents/guardians will receive an email detailing their child’s teacher for 2026. 

Please note it takes the better part of 5-6 weeks to develop class placements. Extensive consideration has gone into the academic and social balance of every class, ensuring that students have familiar faces. All class placements are final and can not be changed.

On Tuesday we will see all students step-up into their classes for 2026. Students in years 2-5 have already taken part in a range of transition sessions engaging with teachers and potential classmates for next year.

Warm regards,

Mat Montebello
