Education Support Staff Day

On Tuesday 16 May we will be celebrating the significant contribution, hard work and dedication of all our Education Support Staff. Our school couldn’t function without these amazing members of our team. We hope they enjoy this special day.

May/June Principal Class Conferences

Over the next few weeks, the Assistant Principals and myself will be attending a number of Principal Class Conferences. These events are an important opportunity to learn about the latest evidence-based practices in educational leadership, inclusion and curriculum design. We are looking forward to sharing our learnings with staff upon completion and are grateful for members of the school leadership team for leading the school in our absence.
