Principal's Report

It's time to dust off those hats!  From tomorrow, all students are expected to wear a school hat, when outside.

This week we celebrated Australian Teacher Aide Appreciation Week.  On behalf of all the students and staff, I would like to give a shout out to Angela, Ana, Ash, Bronwyn, Deirdre, Emelia, Mary, Megan, Michelle, Misa and Nathan for the incredible support they provide to our students every day.  

Today, we welcomed back those students who attended Somers Camp.  It is great to hear how students enjoyed making new friends with students around the region, as well as participating in a wide range of activities, including looking after the family of Guinea Pigs!  Other highlights included the Flying Fox, the Challenge Swing and orienteering.  We look forward to sharing more of their experiences in our next newsletter.
