Principal's Report

Thank you for a wonderful Term 2!

As we wrap up Term 2, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our students, families, and the wider school community for your ongoing support, enthusiasm and partnership. It’s been another fantastic term filled with learning, growth, creativity and connection across our classrooms and beyond. We are incredibly proud of the efforts and achievements of our students and the way our school community continues to work together to create a positive, inclusive and engaging environment for all.

A reminder that Monday 21st July will be a Curriculum Day with our staff investigating into Writing, Reading and Spelling - No students required at school.

We wish you a happy, safe and restful holiday break, and look forward to welcoming everyone back for Term 3 on Tuesday 22nd July.

Raising Kids in a Digital World Information Night

At the beginning of next term we have partnered with Sandringham East Primary School to organise a Cyber Safety Seminar for all parents and carers. The session will be hosted by Martin McGauran who is a Primary School Teacher and Carley McGauran who is a Psychologist who have formed the organisation 'Inform & Empower'. Topics which will be covered and discussed are:

• Social Media
• Online Gaming
• How to strengthen family communication
• Impacts of screen time
• Cyberbullying
• Device Management in a home environment 
• Artificial Intelligence

I am sure that this will prove to be a informative and helpful session for many as we try and safely navigate the challenges that can come from I.T. Device Management.

To register for the event, please scan the QR Code below. Information will also be posted to all parents via Compass.

School Uniform Policy

Recently, the School Council reviewed and endorsed the School Uniform Policy. Currently as we are in the middle of a cold and wintery season, we know that this poses challenges to students and families. We want to ensure our students are comfortable to perform all duties, whether this be inside or outside of the classroom environment. I encourage you to please take the time to read the policy and if you have any questions, please contact the school. The policy can now be found on the school website:

Lids4Kids

Thank you to all the families who are collecting and donating their lids to the school, this is very much appreciated as our Grade 5 Lidsquad has been hard at work. We have recently purchased a recyclable plastic machine which will see us put these lids into newly reformed pieces of equipment which will be utilised by the school. Please keep donating, it is very exciting to see the passion and care driven by our students!

Semester 1 Reports

A reminder that the Semester 1 Reports will be published via Compass  Wednesday 2nd July. If parents would like an opportunity to discuss any outcomes from the report once they have been released, you are always encouraged to contact the school.
