Dear Families,

It has been an absolute pleasure welcoming students back to school for Term 2. Our students have recounted some of the wonderful memories they created over the autumn break. Our students will continue to be engaged in exciting teaching and learning experiences throughout this term including major school events, which of course are open to our families and community, including our upcoming Albanvale Athletics Carnival (With a FREE coffee can accessible to parents and adults who join us on the day).

But as we much as are looking forward into Term 2, it would be remiss of me to not mention one of the highlights of my year so far: the Cultural Colour Run. What an amazing afternoon we had as a community. And it truly was a community event, with siblings and parents getting just as dirty (or should I say colourful?) as the students and staff. Check out the photos in the newsletter, I think they really show the joy the day bought to everyone involved.

Mother’s and Special Persons Day Stall

We will be holding a Mother’s Day stall next Thursday 8th of May so that students can make purchases for their mother, grandmother, or special person in preparation for Mother’s Day. Please send money to school with your child on that day in an envelope or a snap-lock bag with the dollar amount written on the bag. Thank you to our Parent Fundraising Committee for arranging and organising this for our students to spoil their special person this year.
