From the Principal

The coming weeks bring excitement as we celebrate Year 6 leadership, present awards, and share 2026 class placements. With change comes mixed emotions; some children may feel disappointed or anxious, and that’s natural.

Our response matters most: by modelling optimism, resilience, and calm, we help students see setbacks as part of growth and give them confidence to face challenges.

Let’s celebrate achievements, support struggles, and continue building a community where every child feels valued and inspired.

CELEBRATION ASSEMBLY

Monday, December 8 – 9:00 am

Join us as we thank our current Year 6 leaders and welcome the new 2026 leaders.

Awards presented:

• Yr 4 Mrs Daniel’s Literacy Award

• Yr 4 Pettet Foundation Citizenship Award

• Yr 4 Science Award

• Yr 3 Lion’s Environmental Citizen Award

Our school choir will perform, making the day extra special. Parents are warmly invited to celebrate leadership, achievement, and community with us.

2026 CLASSES AND STRUCTURE

Next Tuesday morning, students will take part in a POPS transition session, meeting their new teacher and classmates.

Our 2026 classes have been thoughtfully designed with teachers to balance academic, social, and emotional needs. The class structure will be shared in next week's newsletter.

Thank You Afternoon Tea

Wednesday December 10, 3:30 – 4:00 pm

We warmly invite parents, carers, and grandparents to join us for a special afternoon tea. This gathering is our staff’s way of saying thank you for the incredible support you provide to our school and the many events throughout the year.
