News and Notices 

We have another exciting term planned with lots of learning and a full calendar of events.  Some of the highlights this term include:  The Prep and Year 1 End of Year concerts, The Night of Stars (i.e. extra-curricular performing arts event), Year 6 Graduation Ceremony and student social event and our annual Tally Way Day (10 December).

Tally Way Day is a celebration of the school year and an opportunity for children to apply their learning about the Tally Way while doing fun activities.  On that day, we will also hold the annual ‘Tunnel of Love’ allowing our whole school to farewell our Year 6 students.

Our term calendar and event details are shared to parents and carers via Class Dojo (camps, excursions, swimming carnival etc are included).

Year 6 Camp - Moreton Island

Our Year 6 students had an amazing time on their year 6 camp as they visited Moreton Island and Tangalooma Island Resort. Students were provided with the opportunity to explore how environmental changes impact local plants, animals and marine ecosystems.

Students enjoyed a range of activities, including bush tucker and dolphin presentations with an Eco Ranger, a four-wheel-drive Desert Safari Tour with sand tobogganing, the Wild Dolphin Feeding Experience, water activities, ocean swimming and supervised group snorkelling at the Tangalooma Wrecks Habitat Protection Zone.

It was a fantastic few days filled with adventure, discovery and hands-on learning. Students had a wonderful time creating lifelong memories while developing a greater appreciation for our natural environment and the importance of sustainability.

World Teachers Day / Staff Appreciation Day - 30 October 2026

Next Friday, we mark our annual celebration of ‘Staff Appreciation Day’ with students.  We acknowledge staff appreciation as one team, rather than different days for different employee groups, because we recognise that every member of our team has an important role to play in our success.  We are one team, united to make a positive difference for our students.

Students will be given the opportunity to write certificates of appreciation for staff members of their choice and these will be displayed on the wall in the undercover area near our tuckshop. We invite you to express your appreciation to staff members on that day too if you would like to (e.g. send a note, write an email, send a Dojo message). 

Prep 2027

It was wonderful to connect with our 2027 Prep students during their interviews at the end of Term 3.  Pre-Prep interviews give us valuable information to assist us to prepare for a successful start to school, considerate of the needs and interests of individual children.

Details about upcoming events are provided to parents and carers of enrolled students, so if your child is starting school next year and you haven’t enrolled them yet, please enrol ASAP. Enrolling your child in advance begins the important partnership that helps us get to know our future students, so that we can give them the best possible start to school. 

Remembrance Day 

Wednesday, 11 November is Remembrance Day and we will observe a minute of silence at 11am.  Family members are welcome to pick a sprig of rosemary from our garden as a symbol of remembrance on that day if they would like to. Our school leaders will offer pieces of rosemary to our students.  We have extensively planted rosemary throughout our school to help us to show respect on Remembrance Day and ANZAC Day.

School Shoes

It's approaching that time of year when families may begin to think about new school shoes.  We kindly ask that parents and carers please help their children by ensuring they are in the correct uniform.  Uniform shoes must be plain black, without coloured trim or soles and suitable for physical activity.

Lost Property

As we approach the end of the school year, we encourage parents and carers to remind their children to check the lost property area for any missing items.  Unnamed items can't be returned and when unclaimed after a period of time, are removed and donated to the P&C for the second hand uniform sale. 

Named items are returned to students, so please ensure all items such as jumpers, hats and drink bottles are clearly named.

Thank you for your support in helping us return lost items to their owners
