From the Principal's Desk

It has been a wonderful start to Term Three, with students quickly settling back into routines and classrooms once again buzzing with learning. One of the greatest strengths of Banmira is the partnership we share with our families, and that partnership was on full display this week during our Student Support Group meetings.

Thank You for Supporting Student Support Group Meetings

A sincere thank you to every parent, carer and guardian who joined us for Student Support Group meetings on Monday.

These conversations are one of the most important milestones in our semester, allowing families and staff to celebrate progress, discuss each student's next steps in learning and work together to establish meaningful goals for the months ahead.

Our teachers are now finalising students' Individual Education Plans, which will be shared with families by Week 6. These plans outline each student's personalised goals and provide a clear picture of the learning journey ahead. Thank you for the valuable insights you shared during your meetings. Working together gives our students the very best opportunity to succeed.

Looking Ahead

There is plenty to look forward to over the coming weeks. Across both campuses, preparations are well underway for Book Week, our Debutante Ball, Father's Day celebrations, camps and a range of exciting learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom.
