Term 2 Highlights and What’s Ahead!

As we head into the second half of Term 2, we’re excited to share what’s been happening around our school and what’s coming up!

🏅 PBL Awards Ceremony is just around the corner, where we will celebrate the fantastic behaviour and positive choices our students have made this term. We’re so proud of their efforts!

Our first assembly will be held THIS Thursday June 19 at 2pm.

Wearing the Correct School Uniform – Jumpers Matter!

As the cooler weather sets in, we’d like to remind families about the importance of wearing the correct school uniform, including school jumpers or jackets. Our uniform helps promote a sense of belonging, school pride, and safety.

Please ensure that your child is wearing the correct school jumper each day. Non-uniform items such as coloured hoodies, branded jumpers, or jackets that are not part of the school uniform are not permitted.

🔹 If students arrive in incorrect clothing, they may be:

Given a reminder and a uniform note sent home
Asked to change into a spare school jumper (where available)

If you are experiencing difficulty accessing the correct uniform, please reach out to the school—we are here to help and may be able to support you.

Let’s work together to keep our school looking smart and unified!

🏃‍♂️ Athletics Carnival Practice is well underway, with students showing fantastic sportsmanship and enthusiasm as they prepare for our upcoming carnival. The Small Schools Athletics Carnival will be held on Wednesday June 25th. Don’t forget to pack a hat, water bottle, and running shoes! Notes will be sent home shortly.
