Thank You!

Schools are dynamic ‘people organisations’ and it is only through the support and goodwill of many people that we are able to offer our exciting and challenging educational programs. Thank you to all the parents for the work you have done to support your child’s learning this year, particularly during remote learning. A special thank you to the School Advisory Council and P&F members who have supported the school this year. This year could not have been achieved without the support and work of our whole school community.

Thank you to the members of the School Advisory Council who have made a formal commitment to ‘our’ school. A big thank you must go to our staff, teaching and non-teaching. They are a dedicated and professional team who are extremely supportive of each other and are committed to ensuring the happiness and well-being of every child in the school. A special thank you to the children for their industrious efforts, and the manner in which they approach all aspects of their school life. We can all be justifiably proud of our school and its community!

Thank you to all the staff for their work throughout 2020! It has been a year where staff have grown in their learning along with students and they have all worked hard to make sure that every students has made progress. A special thank you to Mrs Smith and Mrs Gollan as they are taking leave for next year, we thank them for all their work and wish them well with their leave.

Finally, a special mention to all our Year 6 students who complete their primary schooling this week. Congratulations and we wish you all the best as you commence the next exciting stage in your life; secondary schooling!

On behalf of the staff, I wish all our families a happy and holy Christmas, a joyful New Year and a safe and restful holiday!
