From the Principal's Desk

Dear Parents,

Thank you all so much for your support of and attendance at our Learning Conversations, yesterday afternoon. It is such a privilege for us as teachers to watch and listen as students explain their learning to their families. This is an important skill in learning and we are very proud of each and every one of our amazing students, as I know you all are. Many thanks to our teachers for the work they put in to ensure that the session runs so smoothly and positively.

Our school photos will be taken tomorrow. All students are to be in full summer uniform, including black leather school shoes, not runners.  Students with shoulder length or longer hair, must have it tied back with only school coloured hair ties and ribbons. Elaborate hair accessories are not to be worn to school.  Jewellery, as stated in our Uniform Policy is to be limited to a watch and only one piece of religious significance. 

Orders can be made online, please return the envelope by tomorrow morning.

Open Morning

Our Open Morning last Thursday was a great success with a number of prospective families visiting our school. Our students and teachers made us proud and I am very appreciative of their support. The overwhelming feedback was that our school is welcoming and such a calm and focused learning environment, which is wonderful to hear.
