Congratulations
Congratulations to one of our Year 5 students, Danni, who has been offered membership in the Wind Ensemble of the Adelaide Youth Orchestra. Danni won her position with the orchestra after auditioning with her flute and will be rehearsing with the orchestra each Saturday afternoon next year with a number of performances. Fantastic achievement Danni!
Brett Middleton, our Campus PE Coordinator and Pilgrim Wellbeing Coordinator, recently won a bronze medal with his team, Adelaide Era Ultimate, in the national ultimate frisbee championships. Their team had the best ever Div 1 result for a South Australian open age team. Well done, Brett! It is great to see you excelling in an area of your passion and expertise.
We also congratulate Libby Spencer on completing a Diploma of Digital Technologies.This has been the result of a great deal of dedication and hard work and adds to Libby's qualifications in the area of Digital Technology. Staff recently surprised Libby with a celebration for her achievement.
Extended Student Absence Reminder
When a student is away for five or more consecutive school days, families are required to complete a Student Application for Exemption Form (one per student). This is a Government requirement. Parents and caregivers can find a copy of this form on our website or a form can be supplied by the Front Office.

Thomas Readett Mural
Our students and staff really enjoyed watching the progress of our new mural. Thomas Readett has created a stunning piece of art including an Adelaide Rosella and a Rainbow Lorikeet, two birds native to this region. Thomas was encouraged by many of our students congratulating him on his great work. The Year 3 and 4 students were particularly interested to see the ideas they had workshopped with Thomas come to life.
If you get the chance to pop in and have a look, we are sure you will enjoy it too.
Belong & Blossom Playgroup Registration
Our Belong & Blossom Playgroup is held on Wednesday and Friday mornings until Week 8 of this term. Please use the link below to register your child for Term 4.
2025 Foundation Enrolments
We are commencing interviews for Foundation 2025. If you have a child due to start school in 2025, please click on the Application for Enrolment button and complete the enrolment process. If your child will be 5 years old by 1st May 2025, they can commence in Foundation at the beginning of that year. If your child turns 5 years old between 1st May and 31st October you may wish to consider midyear entry. This has always been an option and now that preschools are able to enrol children from midyear to midyear, it may be an excellent opportunity for your child. Please contact Kristen Heath on 8270 3033 or at heathk@pilgrim.sa.edu.au if you would like to discuss your family's situation.
