Principal’s Report

Summer Uniform

This week all students are invited transition out of their winter uniform and begin to wear their summer uniform. Students will be asked to transition over into their summer uniform by week 3 of term 4. I ask for the parents' support in ensuring the students are wearing the correct uniform, in particular, the correct socks and no brand names.

Courage and Crowns

Dear Mums and Girls of grades 4-6,

We are so excited to be bringing Courage and Crowns to our school! Megan will be here on Wednesday, 16th October (Grade 4 Girls) and Thursday, 17th October (Grade 5/6 Girls). She will work with the girls during the days and spend a special 1.5 hours with Mums and Girls in the evening of Thursday, 17th October at 6 pm. Megan specialises in teaching young women about self-love and self-worth. She has seen the changes and gifts that learning to love yourself brings. Please ensure your seats are saved for the evening session by RSVP via this link: https://courageandcrowns.com/school-signup/17-October To learn more about Courage and Crowns, you can go to: courageandcrowns.com

Attendance

We want to remind everyone of the importance of regular attendance. Every school day counts, and each day a child is absent means a missed opportunity for learning and growth. We ask for your support in promoting consistent attendance to ensure that every child can benefit fully from the opportunities we provide. Term 4 promises many opportunities with warmer weather and less illness so it will be important to be at school and work towards achieving our goals

End of Term 3

School concludes at 2:30 pm on Friday 20th September, with term 4 commencing on Monday 7th October at 9 am.
