Le Page Primary School
From the Principal
Our Vision
Each child has a gift or talent. It is our job to find it and to show it to them.
Our Mission
Identify the talent, develop the confidence and create the leader.
What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?
Welcome to the final newsletter for the 2025 school year. I know I am not alone in saying that I can’t believe we are already in the last two weeks. Where has the time gone?!

Social and Fundraising Committee
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Sally, Judith and Gabi who are stepping away from the social and fundraising committee.
Sally has been a member since her son Jaxon started prep in 2019. We are going to miss her terribly and the contribution she has made to our school community cannot be measured.
Judith is taking a well deserved break from the committee and she too has been part of the committee since her daughter Ramona started in 2020. We are so thankful for everything she has contributed and how she has supported our school community.
Gabi will also be having a break from the committee in 2026. She has worked hard on many fundraising events over the last couple of years.
It really is an amazing effort to give up their time to support the school and community. The money you have been able to raise during your tenures is extraordinary and more importantly, you have provided fun and exciting activities for the students.
The entire Le Page community can’t thank you enough!
School Council
I would also like to sincerely thank our school council for 2025. They have worked professionally on key responsibilities including
Our parent representatives for the 2025 school council include
Belinda Griffiths
Alina Bakham
Sasha Buis
David Jobson
Judith Preston
Renate Axford
Thank-you all for everything you have done this year!
I wish everyone a well deserved summer break. Thank-you for your continued support of our beautiful school. We will see everyone on Thursday 29th of January!
