Parents are encouraged to join us each term by visiting their child’s classroom to view their work and engage with their learning.

2026 Returning Teachers

Miss Tognon and Mrs Harkom will be returning from maternity leave next year, and we are excited to welcome them back. We also extend a warm welcome to our new ES staff who will be supporting students in the classroom with their learning needs. If you see them around the school, please take a moment to introduce yourself and help make them feel welcomed.

School Clubs 

PAWS Workshops: Small groups (maximum of 10) interact with dog/handler and complete a series of targeted social skills sessions. These sessions include some explicit teaching and are aimed at helping students understand concepts that they might find challenging eg: making and managing friendships, understanding, and managing anxiety, emotional regulation. 

We’re also excited to share that several clubs will be running during school time this term:

• Tuesday: Lego Club
• Wednesday: Chess Club (please note there is a fee for this club)
• Wednesday: Paw Club
• Thursday: Arts and Crafts

These clubs are a wonderful opportunity for students to meet others, socialise, and engage in fun activities. Please encourage your child to participate during lunch breaks—it’s a great way to make new friends and enjoy school even more.

2026 Enrolments /School Tours

School tours are open every Thursday morning at 10am. If your child is attending 4-year-old kindergarten this year and will be starting school next year, please note that enrolment at the school is required. This process does not happen automatically, so we kindly ask that you come to the office to complete the enrolment.
