Relieving Principal's Message
Dear Parents, Carers, Students, and Staff,
Semester One Student Reports
Semester One reports will be distributed on Thursday, 2nd July through our School Bytes Portal. These reports provide families with a comprehensive summary of student achievement and effort across all subjects. They are an important tool for understanding your child’s learning journey, highlighting both strengths and areas for growth. We encourage families to read the reports together and celebrate your child’s accomplishments.
If you have any questions about the report, please feel free to email your child’s class teacher. Parents may also request information regarding the number of students in each Academic Achievement level by contacting the school office via email.
Athletics Carnival
We were fortunate to enjoy two perfect weather days for our Primary Athletics Carnival this week. The students demonstrated outstanding energy and sportsmanship throughout the events. A special thank you goes to all staff members who helped the carnival run smoothly — including the sports team led by Mr Coon and our General Assistants who set up the oval, the office team who organised first aid, and teachers who timed events and marshalled students. Your hard work and dedication made the carnival a great success!
Canberra Excursion
Our second group of students returned from their Canberra excursion on Friday evening. The students had an enriching experience visiting a range of significant sites including Parliament House, The Mint, The Electoral Office, exhibitions, the Australian Institute of Sport, the War Memorial, Questacon, Mt Ainslie Lookout, Old Parliament House, various Embassies, and the Arboretum. They also enjoyed some fun activities along the way such as bowling.
A huge thank you to our Year 6 teaching team who accompanied and looked after the students: Mrs Bower, Ms O’Malley, Ms Wilkinson, Mr Barrett, Ms Kimpon, Ms Semlitzky, Mr Maloney, Mr Chan, Ms Westwood, and Mr Dingli. Thanks also to Ms Wallace and Mr Thompson for their support with transportation.
Student Code of Conduct
In our school everyone belongs and strives for the highest standards of learning. The attached Student Code of Conduct will begin to be explicitly taught next term in our school by our class teachers.
The posters below will be visible and on display in all of our classrooms.
Alexis King,
Relieving Principal.

Respecting Our Neighbours in School and at Home
We kindly remind all students to be respectful of neighbours both when travelling to and from school and in their own local communities. This means keeping noise levels down, disposing of litter responsibly, and being considerate of others' property and privacy.
Showing kindness and respect helps build positive relationships and a safe, welcoming environment for everyone.
Let’s all do our part to support a caring community wherever we live!
