A heartfelt thank you to all our students and families for your generous toy donations in support of Gayle’s Share Space this Christmas. Your kindness will bring joy, comfort and excitement to children and families who need it most during the festive season. We are incredibly proud of our school community for showing such compassion and making a meaningful difference. Thank you for helping spread Christmas cheer.

2026 Timetable Changes

As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the educational experience for our students, we are revising the existing timetable structure to prioritises effective learning, well-being, and balance throughout the school day.

Starting in 2026, the school day will be organised into the following structure:

Period 1 – 8:45-9:35am

Period 2 – 9:35-10:25am

Period 3 - 10:25-11:15am

During period 1, 2 and 3, all students will have ‘Brain Food’. This is a healthy snack, provided from home, students can munch on whilst listening to a story read by their teacher.

40-minute ‘First’ break (for students to rest and recharge) 11:15-11:55am

Period 4 - 11:55-12:45pm

Period 5 – 12:45-1:35pm

10-minute eating time (canteen lunch orders will be delivered) on fridays 1:35-1:45pm

40-minute ‘Second’ break (for relaxation or further social time) 1:45-2:25pm

Period 6 - 2:25-3:15pm

This revised timetable structure is designed with a strong emphasis on maximising teaching and learning time. By splitting the day into manageable periods, students can focus better during lessons and have sufficient breaks for healthy eating, socialising, and relaxation. The structured breaks are intended to enhance concentration and overall well-being, allowing our students to return to lessons refreshed and ready to learn.

We believe this balanced approach will foster a more positive learning environment while supporting students’ health and academic success.

Brain Food Ideas

Brain food should be quick and easy to munch on, with limited mess. Examples are; cut fruit, vegie sticks and dip, popcorn, cheese and crackers, pretzels.

Thank you
