Acting Head 

of Junior School 

Welcome to Term 3 

Thank you to all staff for the preparation and dedication that has gone into welcoming our students back for Term 3. I wish everyone a positive, productive, and rewarding term ahead.

I would also like to acknowledge the collective effort involved in the assessment and reporting process, culminating in our parent-teacher interviews on Monday. If you were unable to attend your scheduled Parent-Teacher Interview, please contact your child's teacher to arrange an alternative time to discuss their learning and progress.

Winter Woolies Appeal 2026

This year, our Mini Vinnies group, made up of students in Years 5 and 6, will lead the Winter Woolies Appeal in support of the St Vincent de Paul Society. We warmly invite families to donate new or clean, good-quality warm clothing for men, women and children. Suggested items include beanies, gloves, jackets, jumpers, socks, scarves and other winter woolies. If your family has the capacity to donate, items can be placed in the House-coloured bins located by the gate each day from 8.20am.  

Behaviour Expectations Matrix

Last term, Junior School staff worked hard during staff meetings to refine, teach and embed our Junior School Behaviour Expectations Matrix. This work is now very much part of our daily language, with staff and students living the matrix each day through explicit teaching, reminders, modelling and reteaching when needed.
