Birthday Celebrations at School

We love celebrating birthdays at school, and we understand that some families like to acknowledge their child’s special day with their classmates. However, we want to ensure that celebrations remain simple and inclusive.

There is no expectation to bring anything for the class. If you do choose to send something, please keep it modest (e.g., a small stationery item) and avoid food items due to allergies and dietary considerations.

End of Term Message

As Term 1 comes to a close, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the incredible achievements, growth, and community spirit that have made this term special.

Our students have shown enthusiasm, resilience, and a commitment to learning. We have seen them engage in exciting classroom activities, participate in enriching extracurricular programs, and demonstrate kindness and respect towards one another.

A huge thank you to our dedicated teachers, support staff, and families who have worked tirelessly to create a positive and supportive learning environment. Your efforts ensure that every student feels valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.

Reflecting on the highlights of this term have included Cultural Diversity Day, Athletics day, Twilight Carnival, NAPLAN, Year 5 Camp to the Ranch, Deaf Facility camp at Mount Evelyn, finishing off with the Easter Egg raffle today.

As we head into the break, I encourage everyone to take the time to rest, recharge, and enjoy time with family and friends. We look forward to an exciting Term 2 filled with new learning opportunities, challenges, and continued success.

Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday!

Bianca Gatherum

Acting Principal
