Principals Report
As we enter the last 3 weeks of the term, we have many events, excursions and celebrations ahead of us. Please check the Key dates section of the newsletter and also keep an eye out for Compass newsfeeds for all the details and news.
Our School Fete
Congratulations and thanks, to the incredible team of parents, students, extended families and staff who worked as a team to bring together such a wonderful and successful day. It is always amazing to come together as a community. These events take the work of many. We are grateful to the team of volunteers who worked on the day as well as everyone who attended, donated and participated. Our gratitude to the many people who assisted in the lead up and of special note to those who stayed at the end and in the days following the event who worked on the pack down, clean up and tying up of loose ends. A big thank you to Rebecca Hede and Erica McElhinney and all the stallholder coordinators.
Parent Teacher Interviews
Parent Teacher Interviews are happening next week on the 2nd and 3rd December. Bookings for Parent Teacher Interviews are now open via the Compass portal.
Both these days are normal days of attendance for the students. The class teachers will be released to conduct the interviews, and the students will be supervised by specialist staff for each afternoon.
Interview days:
Foundation to Grade 2 - Monday 2nd December
Grade 3-6 - Tuesday 3rd December
The information for the Parent Teacher Interviews will be sent out via Compass and will be held virtually over Webex. We will have virtual meetings as they allow us to conduct interviews while the students are in attendance, are more time efficient and it provides working families options to log on rather than having to take time out of the working day to attend the school.
The Semester 2 report will be released for families in the last week of the year and will reflect your child’s achievement and progress for all curriculum areas taught across the semester.
Parent Battle of the Bands
A heartful thank you to all our members of our parent band. They were presented with a cheque from ticket sales of $2784.00. The money is for our Performing Arts program and will be put to use in 2025 for our school concert.
School Community Helpers- Thank You Morning Tea
It has been a productive and rewarding year in terms of community engagement and fundraising efforts that could not have happened without the many hours that have been volunteered throughout the year. The staff would like to thank and acknowledge the wonderful efforts of our parent community in 2024
If you have baked a cake, run a stall at the fete, sizzled a sausage, pulled a weed out of the garden, been a class rep, attended an excursion, helped in the classroom or helped out in any way, we invite you to the staffroom on Thursday 12th December at 9.10am for morning tea to say thank you for being a school community helper in 2024.
