End of Term Principal’s Message

As we come to the end of another busy term, there is plenty happening across our school. Thank you to our staff and students for all of their incredible work this term there has been so many successes celebrated this term. Thank you to our students, staff and families for your continued support, enthusiasm, and contribution to our wonderful school community.

End of Term Check-Ins

End of Term Check-In Conferences will be held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons. Please remember to book your conference through Compass. These conversations are a valuable opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher, celebrate their progress and discuss their learning as we head into Term 4.

End of Term Extravaganza – Friday

We have a fantastic day planned for Friday, and families are invited to join us for two special events on the oval.

9.15am–10.15am | Jump Rope for Heart – Jump Off

Our students will showcase their skipping skills and performances on the oval. Parents and carers are very welcome to attend and cheer them on!

11.20am–12.30pm | Footy Day Parade- Don’t forget your Gold Coin Donation to support State School’s Relief

It’s time to show our footy colours! Our Footy Day Parade will also take place on the oval, with parents and carers welcome to join us.

A reminder for families: Following the Jump Off, parents and carers will be asked to exit the school grounds during recess in accordance with our Child Safety Guidelines. Families are welcome to remain in the area at the front of the school or return at 11.20am for the Footy Day Parade. Thank you for your understanding and support.

A huge thank you to our wonderful PE team, Mrs Maxwell and Coach Taleski, for the incredible amount of work, organisation, and enthusiasm they have put into bringing this big day together. We know it will be a terrific celebration for our students.

Early Finish – 1.00pm Friday

Please don’t forget that school finishes at 1.00pm this Friday. Camp Australia bookings are open for families requiring outside school hours care following the early dismissal.

Looking Ahead to Term 4

Please take a moment to check our school calendar for important Term 4 dates and upcoming events. Please also note the Canteen’s changing hours also listed in this newsletter.

Finally, I hope all of our students, staff and families enjoy everything the Spring holidays have to offer – sunshine, longer days, finals footy and, most importantly, some fun filled time together as a family.

Have a wonderful and well-earned break, stay safe, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back at 8.40am on Monday, 5 October.

Happy holidays!
