From the Principal

Dear Families,

School Council

This week the 2025 school council school council met for the first time. There was a lot on the agenda, welcoming new members, appointment of office bearers, and the allocation of subcommittees.

I am pleased to announce the below appointment of office bearers:

  President - Jason Holandsjo 

  Vice President - Sarah Glasson 

  Treasurer - Damian Wood

I also had the pleasure of presenting the 2025 Annual Implementation Plan to the council, highlighting key work for the year. While the 2024 Annual Report was also tabled for discussion. This report will be distributed to the school community and will be tabled for the school’s AGM.

As a council we are very excited for what the year has ahead, in particular the 2025 Seaside Fair to be held on Sunday 23rd November.

Please find a more detailed council report on the school council news page.

Open Afternoon

Reminder - Open Afternoon- Tuesday 1st April

A reminder to families that our first open afternoon, takes place next Tuesday 1st April between 3:15-4:00pm, The afternoon gives families the opportunity to venture into their child’s classroom where their child will be able to share and celebrate the work undertaken this term. 

We look forward to seeing families attend.

Cupcake Stall

This term the Junior School Council will be raising money for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal through our annual Cupcake Stall. 

The stall will be held on Tuesday, 1st of April, the last Tuesday of Term 1. 

Cupcakes will range from $1 to $5. Your class reps will be in touch with all the details. 

We couldn't think of a better cause to eat cupcakes for!

Easter Hat Parade - Friday 4th April

Just over 1 week to go until the world famous Williamstown Primary Easter hat parade. The parade which will be held on the front basketball court at approximately 9:15am is a community event and we would encourage all families to attend. So get your raffle tickets in and come and join us for the fun. 

We are even expecting a special guest to be in attendance.

Reminders

School Parking

Recently there have been a lot of cars parking in our driveways, which are signed ‘keep clear’ areas. It is essential that these driveways are kept clear at all times and we are asking all school community members to be mindful of where and how they park. Of note road bollards have been placed in these areas to restrict unauthorised parking.

Parking concerns also include double parking behind parked cars and near the school crossings at both drop off and pick up times. Recently we have had some very close calls with students exiting or entering these vehicles. Road safety around the school is the responsibility of everyone and we are asking for your support on this matter.

If you do observe unsafe parking or driving on the roads around the school please contact myself or the school office.

Thank you for your support on this matter

Warm regards,

Mat
