Deputy Principal's Report

Dear Families, 

As we approach the end of another eventful week, I wanted to take a moment to touch base with you all. I hope this message finds you in good spirits and looking forward to a well-deserved break over the weekend.

This week has been nothing short of wonderful. From academic achievements in the classrooms to outstanding performances on the sports field, our students have been very busy. A special congratulations is in order for our Year 3-6 students who participated in the school athletics carnival. I was very proud to see the beaming smiles and sense of accomplishment on their faces after the event filled me with immense pride. It's moments like these that remind us of the boundless potential and dedication of our students.

Looking ahead to tomorrow evening, excitement is mounting for our eagerly awaited school disco. I can barely contain my enthusiasm, and I'm certain our students share in this sentiment. The prospect of uniting as a school community to dance, laugh, and create lasting memories fills me with immense joy. I have no doubt that tomorrow night will be an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

As we gear up for the festivities ahead, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering support and encouragement. It is through our collective efforts that we cultivate such a vibrant and inclusive school environment, and for that, I am deeply appreciative.

Random Acts of Kindness

I would like to extend heartfelt congratulations to the following students for their exemplary display of kindness towards others. It's truly inspiring to witness students across different year levels supporting one another and making an effort to spread kindness. Your actions make our school community a better place for everyone.

Friendly Reminder 

Just a friendly reminder to all school families that dogs are not permitted on the school grounds at any time. If you walk your dog to school, they must remain supervised outside the school gates. Thanks for your understanding.

Arriving at School on Time

We kindly request that all students arrive at or before 8:45 am each school day. Our school gates will close at 8:50am every morning. Punctuality not only helps students settle into their day smoothly but also maximises their engagement in the learning process. Being present and ready at the beginning of the school day allows students to make the most of instructional time and fosters a positive classroom environment.

In the event that your child arrives after 8:50am, we kindly ask that you sign them in at the school office. This helps us maintain accurate attendance records and ensures that any missed instructions or announcements are communicated to the students promptly.

We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and we appreciate your cooperation in instilling the importance of timeliness with your child. Consistent and prompt attendance supports their academic progress, social development, and overall success in school.

Should you have any concerns or if there are specific challenges your family is facing regarding attendance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to support you and work collaboratively to ensure the best possible learning experience for your child.

Illness

I'd like to emphasise the importance of keeping our school community safe and healthy. With the ongoing challenges posed by various illnesses, it's crucial that we all do our part to protect one another.

One of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of illness within our school is by ensuring that children who are unwell stay home until they are fully recovered. If your child is unwell, please keep them home. In the event of an absence, please notify the school office. 

Wishing you all a weekend filled with relaxation, joy, and perhaps a touch of anticipation for the excitement that awaits us tomorrow evening. See you on the dance floor!

Warm regards,

Joelle Diakrousis
