From the Principal Team

Working Bee-utifully!

Last Saturday saw us host our first working bee for the year, with our Prep Family Working Bee. Not only did this beautiful autumn weather provide a great opportunity to bring life back to part of our yard, it was a great opportunity for our new Prep families to connect. 

This working bee's target area was the garden and embankment area around our Art Room and with some soil, granitic sand, mulch, plants and a good dose of team effort I'm sure you'll agree the final product is a great improvement on an area neglected throughout the building project. 

A HUGE thank you to our Prep families who helped out on what we know is typically a busy family-day for all. Check out the before and after shots below:

Building Project Update:

Our building project feels like it's humming along nicely at the moment. Since the last newsletter many of the windows and doors have been installed, and most of the internal plastering has been finished and the external cement-look cladding has begun to be hung. Soon the lift will be installed and concrete for the internal staircase will be poured. This concrete pour will involve a concrete pump, which may impact movement between the gym and the oval for a short period of time on the day. This progress is exciting and continues to help us see how amazing these learning spaces will be for our school. 

Parenting with Confidence:

Local health and wellbeing service healthAbility have asked us to share their brochure for an upcoming parent support program. Beginning next week, please follow the booking instructions within the brochure if you have an interest. 

Happy Birthday...

At risk of Claire and I being booted off the Leadership team for public embarrassment, we wish to acknowledge yesterday's milestone birthday of our wonderful Principal (that'll get us back in the good books) Natalie. Many happy returns!
