From the Principal

Hi Everyone,

Happy World Tuckshop Day to our wonderful tuckshop convener Mrs Sherry Lui and her team of volunteers! Our students get to enjoy our Tuckshop, Fresh Bites, every day at school and we are so grateful to the team that make it happen! I hope you've had a wonderful day.

Congratulations to the talented group of students that I got to watch in their debating last night, they did an excellent job. It is clear to me why so many children try out to get into the Debating Teams because it is a lot of fun and develops such important skills. Thank you so much to Mr. James Tait and Ms Sheree Hoac, who coach the teams.

Congratulations to our Year 4 to 6 Merit Certificate recipients for Week 5, we are very proud of you!

Sadly, I had to miss assembly because I was on leave, but I have been told that the Senior Strings performed beautifully! Thank you to them and Mrs Trudy Weekes. On Monday, we will have our Whole School Star Assembly, and our Intermediate Strings will be our entertainment. I look forward to that.

Speaking of instrumental music, next Tuesday night is the Instrumental Music Parent Information Night for both strings and band, and I very much encourage parents to come along to that if they can. These will be held in the strings and band rooms. We hope to see you there.

Next week we are very privileged to have a group of our 2027 Preps joining us on Thursday for Step into Prep 2027. It is important that if you know somebody who is looking to enrol their child for 2027, either in prep or in another year level, that they contact us as soon as possible please.

This Friday we will be hearing from some Year 5 students who are giving their Leadership Speeches for 2027 leadership positions. I wish them all the very best and congratulate them for being brave and nominating for these important roles.

On Wednesday next week, the 11th of November, we will be acknowledging Remembrance Day. This will be done with a simple one-minute silence at 11am. It is important that we honour those who fought for our freedom. Lest we forget.

Tomorrow is the day - Spring Fair! Congratulations to everybody in the Spring Fair Team who has worked so hard to bring it together. I know it is going to be a great day, and I can't wait to see you there!

See you at the Spring Fair tomorrow!
