Principal's message

Dear Families,

As I complete my first year as Principal, I want to express my sincere gratitude for the trust, support, and partnership you have shown throughout the year. It has been a privilege to walk alongside you and your children, and I am truly proud of what our community has achieved together.

This year has brought moments of learning, growth, challenge, and great joy. What has stood out most is the strength of our school community—the kindness of our students, the dedication of our staff, and the generosity and encouragement of our families.

May this Christmas season bring your homes peace, joy, and time to rest with loved ones. As we look ahead to a new year, I pray it is filled with hope, good health, and many blessings for you and your children.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas, and a safe and Happy New Year. 

Regards,

Matt Knight

Christmas Concert & Raffle

What a wonderful way to celebrate the festive season! Our Christmas Concert and Raffle was a fantastic event filled with joy, music, and community spirit. Congratulations to all of our raffle winners — we hope your prizes add a little extra sparkle to your Christmas celebrations!

A heartfelt thank you to Bree McAlpine for her outstanding organisation and coordination of the concert. Your work helped create a memorable experience for students, families, and staff.

We also extend our sincere thanks to the P&F for running the raffle and managing the draw. Your ongoing support and generosity continue to strengthen our school community.

School Arrival and Departure Times

• Gates Open: 8:30 AM

• Pick-Up: 3:15 PM

   

Our school is a workplace, and we have set times for supervision to ensure student safety. 

• There is no yard supervision before 8:30 AM.
• Students should not be dropped off before 8:30 AM unless they are enrolled in YMCA Before School Care.

The YMCA offers before and after school care for families who need early drop-off or late pick-up. Please make arrangements with them if your schedule requires this.

Our priority is the safety and wellbeing of all students—thank you for helping us maintain a safe environment.
