Message From Our Principal
Mrs Jackie Stockdale
As the crisp winter air settles in, we find ourselves wrapping up the bustling 11 weeks of Term 2. This season brings a special charm to our school, with children enjoying the frosty mornings and the occasional rainfall, turning our playground into a winter wonderland.
Embracing the cold weather has become a part of our daily routine. We see students arriving in cozy scarves, woolly hats, and warm gloves, ready to tackle the day with enthusiasm. It’s a delight to see everyone adapting to the chill and finding joy in the simple pleasures of winter.
As we reflect on the past term, we celebrate the achievements and milestones reached by our students. From academic successes to sporting triumphs, every week has been filled with growth and learning. Our dedicated teachers have worked tirelessly to ensure that each child has had the support and encouragement they need to thrive.
Now, with the holidays just around the corner, we look forward to a well-deserved break. This is a time for families to relax, recharge, and create lasting memories together. Whether you’re planning a cozy staycation or a snowy adventure, we hope you enjoy this special time with your loved ones.

Bike Week
Bike Week has brought a whirlwind of excitement and numerous benefits to our F-2 students at school. Riding bikes not only promotes physical fitness but also helps develop balance, coordination, and confidence in our young learners. It's been wonderful to see the joy on the children's faces as they pedaled around, enjoying the fresh air and fun activities.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the families for ensuring that their children had their bikes at school, making this week a smooth and successful one. Your support is greatly appreciated and vital to the program's success.
A special shoutout goes to Lauren and Jaleigha for their dedication and hard work in implementing Bike Week with the students.
