Principal's Report

Report from our Principal: Duncan Arendse

Dear Parents, Friends and Father Arsenio,

 

Given how deep we are into the school year I am a little surprised at the fact that I am still enrolling students for next year. The intention is to have class lists for next year ready by December 2nd. This is when our first 'Move Up' days is scheduled and students will meet their 2025 teacher.

 

Last week an important letter was sent out regarding fees for 2025 and beyond. I am grateful for the feedback to date. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you either want to know more or if there maybe an issue with meeting commitments. 

 

I am most grateful to Therese Barry and Emily Woodhams for assisting in the review of student leadership. They are currently witnessing the entire process for next year and we anticipate sending a completed policy and procedure to families this year. It will be available for further comment as well. Once this has been completed I would also like to review the Parent Code of Conduct at our school. This will occur early next year. If you are interested in assisting in this process please let me know.

 

School closure dates have almost been finalised for next year. I expect that they will be publicised before the end of this year.

We have tried to spread the closure days and have deliberately set them on different days of the week as well. Given the school will be under cyclical review next year this is a necessary function and I am aiming to minimise disruption for all.

Have a great week,

 

Duncan
