Deputy Principals Mrs Diakrousis & Mr Speranza
Dear Families,
Congratulations everyone on a remarkable term. We hope that children and families spend some down time with each other of the break. Happy Easter to all our families for this weekend, and for those celebrating Orthodox Easter on the 12th.
We look forward to seeing everyone back in Term 2, refreshed and recharged for the term ahead.
Our students have been thrilled to have so many visitors to our end of Term Expos. Thank you to the many family members who attended, and we hope it was worthwhile of your time.
Warm regards,
Joelle Diakrousis, Deputy Principal / Learning Diversity Leader
Anthony Speranza, Deputy Principal / Learning & Teaching Leader

Harmony Day
Harmony Day is a special celebration in Australia that recognises and celebrates our cultural diversity. It is traditionally held on the 21st of March and is a day that reminds us that “everyone belongs.” It is an opportunity for us to learn about, respect, and appreciate the many different cultures, backgrounds, and traditions that make up our community.
Schools and communities often celebrate Harmony Day by wearing orange—the colour that represents social communication, meaningful conversations, and respect for one another. Many also choose to wear traditional cultural dress, share stories, enjoy multicultural activities, and learn more about each other’s heritage.
As Harmony Day falls on the same day as our St Patrick’s Festival this year, we will be celebrating Harmony Day in Term 2 instead. This will give us the opportunity to truly honour and celebrate the rich diversity within our beautiful school community.
Further details, including the specific date, will be shared early in the term. On this day, students are invited to wear orange or their national dress as we come together to celebrate inclusivity, respect, and the many cultures that make our school such a vibrant and welcoming place.
Seasons for Growth 2026
A notice has been shared on NFORMA inviting families to express their interest in their child participating in the Seasons for Growth program this year.
At times in life, children experience change or loss that can feel confusing, overwhelming, or difficult to manage on their own. To support students during these times, we will once again be offering the Seasons for Growth program at school this year.
What is Seasons for Growth?
Seasons for Growth is a small-group program designed to support children who have experienced significant change or loss, such as the death of a loved one, family separation, friendship changes, moving house, or other important life transitions.
The program:
- Helps children understand that change and loss are a normal part of life
- Provides a safe space to share experiences (if they choose)
- Builds emotional literacy and coping skills
Encourages resilience and connectedness
Sessions will be facilitated by Mrs Diakrousis and will run in small groups during school hours. The program will commence in Week 6.
Students who participated last year are welcome to continue the program and will build on their previous learning. New students will begin the program from the first session, which introduces the core concepts and foundations of the program.
Please contact Joelle Diakrousis for further details
