Message from the Principal

Dear Parents, 

The Sports Awareness Program will be held next week. This program enables teachers to meet in teams to plan teaching and learning for next year. Professional Practice days provide an opportunity for teachers to engage in professional dialogue and ensure consistency and best practice across all classrooms. Further planning and discussion about student progress is undertaken in teams each week. 

All students will be involved in the Sports Awareness Program, whereby they will be engaged in various activities designed to broaden their experiences and engage with new things. The Enrichment Team: tries to provide a diverse curriculum where the students are involved in varied and fun learning experiences which this term will include an African Drumming Experience, FFV Soccer Coaching and more.
