Mr. Lehane

Education Support Personnel (ESP) Day,

Today was ESP Day, which is celebrated every year on the 16th May. We would like to give a special  thank you to all our education support staff. Your dedication and hard work are the backbone of our school community, ensuring our students have the support they need to succeed.

Our education support team includes learning support officers, administrative staff, technical support, and many others who contribute daily to creating a safe, inclusive, and effective learning environment.

We'd like to give special recognition to some of our outstanding team members:

  • Jo, our Business Manager, has been a friendly and consistent presence in our school for many years. She always greets students and families with a smile and is ready to tackle tasks, big or small.
  • Maddi Hart, working in classroom support, has quickly built strong relationships with staff and students alike. Her proactive approach to assisting both students and the school is truly commendable.
  • Ash Stow, supporting our junior students, has been with us for nearly a year. From leading small literacy groups to crafting fantastic art lessons and re-planting fruit trees, Ash's versatility and creativity greatly enrich our programs.
  • Leanne, our dedicated library staff member, ensures our library is well-stocked and our books are well cared for. Her knowledge, skills, and hard work have created the fantastic library we all enjoy.
  • Deb, who tends to our gardens, does an amazing job. The pride we feel when showcasing our school grounds to visitors is a direct result of Deb's hard work, which consistently garners praise for our wonderful gardens.
  • Gareth, our IT technician, operates behind the scenes to keep our school's technology running smoothly. The countless times he has resolved computer issues, both big and small, have not gone unnoticed and are deeply appreciated.

On this special day, let's take a moment to recognise and thank all our education support staff. Your contributions are vital to the success of our school, and we are truly grateful for all that you do.

Wellbeing Survey for Families 2025

 

The survey is now closed. Thank you to those who responded to the survey, your insight and feedback will help us to better understand the needs of our families and children in the mental health and wellbeing space.

 

For those who completed the survey, your Coffee on Loddon voucher should have made its way home to you (via your child) earlier this week! 


Happy Birthday to Freddy and Miss Deane who both celebrated birthdays this week. 


Last week we took 11 of our 15 students to Melbourne for School Camp. It was a fantastic experience that students and staff all really enjoyed. 

 

Below are a few pictures from our time at camp which is sure to be a highlight of the year.
