Principal's Report

Welcome to Term 4

I hope that students enjoyed their break and that they are ready for Term 4. This is a particularly interesting part of the year with end of year reports, Year 6 graduation and the Year 1 and 2 dinners which are part of our camping program.  Term 4 is also exciting due to all the facilities work we are undertaking.

The two playgrounds are nearly finished, and they look fantastic. Students will be able to play on them as soon as the final inspections have been completed and the fences are removed. 

The environment project is also progressing well. The area has been cleared and the area is being prepared for the construction phase. This includes new drainage and pits being installed.

I will keep you up to date about the progress of this project which is due to be completed at the end of this term.

Transition Program starts on Wednesday, 16th of October

This is for new students starting Foundation (Prep) in 2025. There are two groups one at 9:15am and the second at 11:30am. Students are invited to attend all the sessions this term as each session focuses on different learning and getting to know different parts of the school.

Parents, please stay for this first session so that you can be provided with information to assist your child in their first year of education.
