Principals Report

The chorus of laughter, applause, and pure joy filled the air as our school's talented students took center stage at our recent end-of-year concert. The courtyard was alive with the sounds of accomplishment and pride as the young singers, and performers showcased their incredible skills.

The heartwarming turnout from parents, grandparents, and community members added to the festive atmosphere, creating an unforgettable experience for all. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated staff and parents who volunteered their time to ensure the event went off without a hitch. Your commitment to our school community truly shines through.

A standing ovation is in order for the exceptional trio—Kelly Gilchrist, Karyn Hardwick, and Stef Taylor—who played a pivotal role in the meticulous planning and flawless execution of the day. Their passion and hard work transformed the concert into a resounding success.

Our Chaser Community was not only treated to a spectacular performance but also had the chance to win exciting prizes through generous donations. Thanks to the support of our local businesses and individuals, we were able to organize a raffle, with all proceeds earmarked for our exciting new initiative—the establishment of a specialist cooking program for the entire school.

A further special mention needs to go out to Sam and Phil Beazley who video recorded the event so we can share the event with more loved ones who were not able to make it on the day.  Sam showed tremendous perseverance in the heat and did take an unexpected rest. Thankfully all is fine, and he recovered well.

As we wrap up this academic year, the echoes of the concert will resonate, leaving us with lasting memories of a day filled with talent, unity, and the spirit of giving. We look forward to channeling the funds raised into creating a vibrant and inclusive cooking program that will enrich the educational experience for every student.

Here's to a harmonious end to the year and the promise of new beginnings in the upcoming school term! 

Lastly we would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday break. We look forward to seeing everyone back for an exciting year in 2024.
