Foundation 2025

A Fantastic Start to the Year!

What an incredible first couple of days it has been! We want to congratulate our students and teachers on a fantastic start to the year. Your enthusiasm, dedication, and positive energy have set the tone for a successful and inspiring journey ahead.

As we embark on this new chapter together, we look forward to seeing all the growth, achievements, and connections that will unfold. 

Parents have been so supportive of both their children and the school, adding to the smooth transition into the new year. 

Thank you for making the start of this year so special! Here’s to a great year ahead!

School bonus 

Well done to all the parents who navigated the school bonus successfully and allocated money for uniforms and activities such as excursions. Please be patient as it does take time and sometimes if you have several children, they will be approved at different times. 

A huge thank you to Miss. Myall and Mrs. Mifsud in the office for their amazing work with this grant. It has been lot of work for them, and they have done a great job of helping parents and implementing all the required administration tasks. 

A reminder to families that if you wish to use the SSB money for school activities such as camps, excursions, interschool sport etc. you must log into the portal and allocate money into the "school activities" tab.

The important thing to remember is if you need some help let us know. 

Items all students need:

• Hats - A reminder that all students need a school hat. Other caps and hats are not appropriate. Please ensure that all uniform items have the student’s name on it.
• Library Bags – please ensure your child has a library bag so they can protect their library books from any damage that can occur as children put books in their bags along with other items such as lunch boxes and drink bottles.
• Head Phones – It appears that some student may have accidently taken their headphones home at the end of last year, especially some of last year's grade 3 students. If this has occurred, can you please make sure that these are returned to school immediately. Only headphones provided by the school can be used. Please do not allow students to bring their personal headphones from home. 

Thank you in advance for all of the above. 

School events

Please read the whole newsletter each week so you are up to date with all the information and events happening at the school. Some upcoming events include:

• Parent information session – Week 4
• Whole family afternoon – Friday, 7th March 1:30 – 3:00pm

Calendar for Term 1

Soon we will send home with students a paper copy of a term calendar for you to put up on your fridge/notice board at home to help you keep track of events. You can also add any other events which come up.

Year Level Curriculum Newsletters

At the beginning of each term, year level teams will send home a Curriculum Newsletter explaining what students will be learning for that term. We know that this information will assist you to have deeper conversations with your children and support their learning.
