Welcome back to Term 4!

Welcome back to what is always a very special term at our school! It's hard to believe we're already in the final term of 2025. Where has the year gone?!

 

Term 4 is such a unique time in our school calendar. While it brings the usual excitement and busyness, it's also a time of reflection, celebration, and transition. Our Year 6 students are preparing for their graduation and the move to secondary school, while our Prep students have grown so much since those first nervous days in February. For everyone in between, this term is about consolidating learning, celebrating achievements, and finishing the year strongly.

 

We have so much to look forward to in the coming weeks, including our annual celebration concert, swimming programs, transition days, step-up day and of course, special year level and class end-of-year celebrations. More information about these events will follow in the coming weeks from year level teams.

 

A HUGE thank you!

Before we look ahead, I must take a moment to thank Tracy and our wonderful Toastie Truck volunteers for organising such a fantastic fundraiser at the end of Term 3. The smell of toasted sandwiches wafting across the playground was absolutely irresistible, and judging by the smiles (and crumbs!) on everyone's faces, it was a delicious success! 

 

Thank you to everyone who supported this event; your contributions make such a difference to our school community.

 

Are you leaving VPS in 2026?

As we begin planning for the 2026 school year, we need your help. 

 

If your family is relocating to a new school, state, or country for 2026, please inform the school office in writing as soon as possible. 

 

This information is crucial for our class planning and helps us ensure we can provide the best possible learning environment for all students next year.

 

Please e-mail the office or drop in a note. The earlier we know, the better we can plan.
