Planning for 2026

Planning for our 2026 classes is now underway. To help us prepare as accurately as possible, we ask that families advise the school as soon as possible if their child will be moving schools at the end of this year for any reason.

If you know of any families who are planning to enrol for 2026, whether in Prep or other year levels, please encourage them to contact the school office soon to begin the enrolment process.

Families who have any specific requests regarding their child’s class placement for 2026 are invited to put these in writing and send them to the Principal by Friday, November 7th. While individual requests will be carefully considered, please note that requests for specific teachers will not be accepted. I have the utmost confidence in all of our staff and their ability to teach to a high professional standard, ensuring every child learns and thrives in a positive, supportive environment.

🐝🐝🐝Term 4 Working Bees🐝🐝🐝

We’re excited to announce two Working Bees this term, and we’d love your help to get a few big jobs done in the school and kindergarten grounds before the end of the year!

🔹 Friday 7 November, 3:30–5:30pm

This afternoon will focus on spreading mulch around the school grounds to freshen up our gardens and play areas. Please bring wheelbarrows, shovels, and pitchforks if you have them, and a readiness to get your hands dirty! Refreshments will be provided to keep everyone fuelled and happy.

🔹 Friday 28 November, 3:30–5:30pm

Our second working bee will focus on clearing and organising storage spaces, including areas under buildings and in sheds. We’ll also be breaking down old furniture to go into a skip (or two). It’s a big task but as we all know many hands make light work!

We hope to see lots of families come along to lend a hand and enjoy the community spirit that makes these afternoons so rewarding.
