TEAM 

Welcome Back!!

Welcome back, TEAM Cowwarr! It’s been a fantastic start to Term 4, and as always, I can’t believe how quickly the year has flown by. This term is an exciting one. We welcome our new Prep students as they begin their transition to school, and we start preparing to farewell our amazing Grade 6 students, some of whom have been part of our school family for seven wonderful years.

As we look ahead to 2026, we’re busy planning for the year ahead. If you’re new to town or have a young person getting ready to start school, we warmly invite you to visit our beautiful school community or join us for one of our upcoming transition sessions.

I’m really looking forward to this term as we continue to work hard, have fun, and celebrate another wonderful year together as the Cowwarr TEAM.

Mrs. Johns.

Parent Opinion Survey

Thanks to parents and families who completed the Parent Opinion Survey. We nearly had 50% of our families complete this survey and give there thoughts and opinions about our school community. It's always reassuring to receive such positive feedback about our school and staff and the work we aim to achieve everyday. I appreciate the honesty and support of our families as we continue to shape and build our TEAM

Excursion - Annie the Musical

🎭 What a wonderful way to begin the term with a whole-school adventure to Melbourne! Students were filled with excitement as we hopped on the bus and headed to the Princess Theatre to see the spectacular musical Annie. It was a truly memorable experience that brought plenty of smiles, singing, and inspiration to kick off the term together. 

Of course, special days like this simply wouldn’t be possible without the kindness and support of our amazing parent volunteers who give their time to help staff and students. A heartfelt thank you also goes to the Heyfield Lions Club for their incredible generosity in covering the cost of our transport for the day. Thanks to their support, our students were able to enjoy a truly memorable experience.
