Dear Families,

Thank you for everyone’s attendance at the Parent / Teacher exchange meetings this week. Working together in partnership with you is a cornerstone to achieving great outcomes for your child. Should you require our support as the year unfolds, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

As we mentioned last week we are relaunching the Seesaw app throughout the school, which will further strengthen the relationship between the classroom and home.

Classroom teachers and specialist teachers will share learning, reflections and highlights as snapshots in time of your child’s experiences at school. Updates have commenced so please check your child’s journal and reach out to the classroom teacher if an additional parent needs access.

A reminder that our school apps and communication channels are listed below, so that you can always stay up to date with everything that is happening in our vibrant school.

Regards,

Joelle Diakrousis, Deputy Principal / Learning Diversity Leader

Anthony Speranza, Deputy Principal / Learning & Teaching Leader

Year 6 Canberra Camp – Wishing You an Amazing Adventure!

Next week, our Year Six students will be heading off on an unforgettable adventure to Canberra. This exciting camp will give them the chance to explore our nation’s capital, visit iconic landmarks while deepening their understanding of Australian history, government, and science.

We wish all our Year 6 students and teachers a fantastic time filled with learning, laughter, and lasting memories. Safe travels, and we can't wait to hear all about your incredible experiences when you return.

Clean Up Schools Day – March 3rd

We are pleased to announce that on Monday, March 3rd, all students from Year 1 to Year 6 will be taking part in Clean Up Schools Day. This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to come together and care for our school environment by collecting litter, sorting recyclables, and learning about sustainability.

Clean Up Schools Day is more than just tidying up—it’s about building responsibility, teamwork, and pride in our surroundings. By taking small actions, our students will make a big difference in keeping our school and community clean and green.

Together, we can help create a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone!

Random Acts of Kindness

We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the following students for their outstanding display of kindness and compassion towards others. Your willingness to support, encourage, and uplift those around you has set a wonderful example for our entire school community. It’s incredibly inspiring to see students across different year levels go out of their way to make others feel valued, included, and respected.Your acts of kindness—whether through small gestures or significant efforts—are powerful reminders of the positive impact we can all have. Thank you for embodying the values that make our school a welcoming and caring place for everyone. Keep up the amazing work!
