Weekly Overview

As we come to a close on the last remaining days of Term 2, it is a great time to reflect and focus on the growth that has occurred this year already. Time passes too quickly, so I encourage you to take a moment and speak with your child/children about some of the following:

What are you most proud of this semester?
What changes have you made that encourage you to do your best?
How do you value school this year?
How can you continue to strive to do your best?

Asking these questions may provide an opportunity to connect deeper and highlight moments of success as they self-analyse and assess their progress.

We wish all students and families a safe and relaxing holiday to recharge and boost their energy for learning when we return next term. Students return on Tuesday the 23rd of July.

Thanks to all the Primary students who danced the night away last week with our Years 3-6 social. Thanks to our teachers for hosting and creating a wonderful evening for our students to enjoy.
