Principal's Report

Grand Opening

The toilet refurbishment project is finally complete and handover occurred on Tuesday afternoon! After a short assembly on Wednesday morning, staff and students had the chance to look at the upgraded facilities, before beginning to use them.

This project ran well over time, and the building company were apologetic, however it was the staff and students that suffered due to their incompetent execution of the project.

I want to again thank all the staff and students for their patience. While no one enjoyed the situation we were put in, everybody shared the facilities and worked together to make it work, with frustration of having to wait a bit never showing through. These are the true signs of a resilient community that cares for each other, clearly demonstrating our school values of respect and kindness.

Conferences

Conferences are next week! Conferences (formerly Parent Teacher Interviews) are being held on Tuesday 31st March, from 4 – 7pm, providing families an opportunity to meet with their child’s teachers and discuss their child’s learning. 10 minute meetings are available and the booking for these meetings is now open. If you have any problems booking, please contact the office for assistance. Students are asked to participate in these discussions.

It can be hard to book a time with all teachers, so if you have questions, or want to discuss your child’s progress, please contact the teacher directly at school.

End of Term 1

We are quickly heading towards the holidays.

With 1 week left of Term 1, I can’t believe we are nearly a quarter of the way through the year. Time really does fly! Just a reminder that next week is a shortened week, with school finishing for students at 2.30pm next Thursday, 2nd April due to Good Friday on Friday, 3rd April.
