Principal's Report

Happy Last Day of Term 3

Where has the term gone?

As we reach the end of Term 3, I would like to acknowledge the efforts of our students, staff and families. Our students have shown strong engagement in their learning and a commitment to our school expectations. I thank our staff for their dedication and our families for their ongoing support. 

Footy Fever

Today we celebrated our Footy Day.  It was a wonderful day celebrating all the sports and colours of the teams we support. Unfortunately, again we see that Collingwood is considerably overrepresented (ha ha). Be sure to check out the sports page as there are lots of photos of all the fun. We will also be sharing photos on our school Facebook page this evening!

Parent / Carer Survey (last day today!)

 Just a reminder that today is the last day to complete this survey. Whilst I understand that we will never reach 100% (no schools do), we are really hoping to reach 20%, which is the percentage we achieved in 2025. So if you have a few minutes to spare,  we would really appreciate it. This helps us to ensure that we are meeting the needs and expectations of our school community.

As communicated earlier this week, I will be taking a week of long service leave in Week 1. During this time, Ms Rae Gittos and Mr Matt Kirkright will lead the school, with Rae as the official Acting Principal. 

We hope you have a wonderful holiday and look forward to an even more amazing Term 4.
