Relieving Principal's Message
Dear Parents, Carers, Students, and Staff,
As we progress through the term, I am excited to share some highlights from our school community.
Recently, we had the privilege of hosting the Multicultural Area Public Speaking final. The calibre of prepared and impromptu student speeches was outstanding.
A very warm congratulations to our students who won a Gold Medal in the “Hello Mandarin” recital last weekend. Thank you to Mrs Yang and Ms Xie who took our students.
In sport our students have participated in State Knockout competitions and PSSA. They are preparing for our upcoming Athletics carnival in PE lessons.
Professional growth remains a key focus for staff, with several teachers participating and leading professional learning in our network.
We are in the process of final report writing for professional experience students who we have had in our school this term.
Our Student Parliament is underway, providing students with opportunities for leadership and contributing to our school community.
We are currently completing the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data.
Detailed information was emailed to families last week through School Bytes.
Around our school grounds finalising touches and repairs are being conducted before we have the build team leave our site.

In our school everyone belongs and strives for the highest standards of learning. The attached Student Code of Conduct will begin to be explicitly taught next term in our school by our class teachers.

Canberra excursion
On Monday morning our first group of Year 6 students left for their Canberra excursion. This is a highlight of primary school and contributes to many wonderful memories.
Thanks to our parents who had their children so wonderfully packed and prepared by 5.30 am!
We extend a huge thank you to Ms O’Malley, Mrs Bower and our amazing team of Year 6 teachers who are looking after our students whilst they are away.
Year 6 parents please follow our communication for arrival times on Wednesday and Friday evening.
Alexis King,
Relieving Principal.
NSW Public Schools Parent Survey

Hearing directly from our parents and carers will help us understand what’s working well and where improvements can be made. Participation in the survey is optional, your responses are anonymous, and it takes around 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
You can access at the survey at https://surveyme.education.nsw.gov.au/sc/nY-Nyo_ECTx3tx7ZZetuvA2

Respecting Our Neighbours in School and at Home
We kindly remind all students to be respectful of neighbours both when travelling to and from school and in their own local communities. This means keeping noise levels down, disposing of litter responsibly, and being considerate of others' property and privacy.
Showing kindness and respect helps build positive relationships and a safe, welcoming environment for everyone.
Let’s all do our part to support a caring community wherever we live!
