Reflections on last week...

I thoroughly enjoyed being at the Infants Cross Country last Friday. The smiles, the determination and the cheering makes me feel proud that our youngest students really give their best and support one another.

Well done to Year 1E and Year 2 for their Eisteddfod participation. I will miss hearing their beautiful voices as I walk past their rooms.

We also had league and league tag and a virtual chess competition. I really would like to acknowledge our teaching staff who make all these extra curricula activities a reality for our students even whilst preparing lessons, teaching and writing reports.

This Week - Week 8

Well done to our Secondary Girls Soccer Team who I watched yesterday in the Regional Final of the Bill Turner Trophy. I loved their spirit even when behind - they played as a team and supported one another until the final whistle. Super proud of their achievement.

There is more sport this week too!

Nudgee School Musical Performance

On Wednesday all students will listen to a performance by the Brisbane school "Nudgee" band. We are pleased they have included us on their regional tour. The performance will be for around 30 minutes.

Random NESA Audit

This Thursday two NESA inspectors will be visiting our school complete a random audit. The areas they will be checking is Child Safety, Discipline, Timetabling and Stage 4 HSIE. Thanks to our staff who have prepared for this audit in a very busy time of term.

Looking forward to...

I am looking forward to the Year 3-10 (and a small amount of Year 2) Athletics Carnival this Friday. It would be great to see families join us to cheer on the students. Pop in for a bit if you have time. Your children love seeing you!

Being part of the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation on Sunday. It is always a beautiful Mass and a lovely to see our Year 6 students presenting themselves so maturely.
