Dear Families,

Yesterday, we celebrated World Teachers' Day with a wonderful morning tea kindly provided by our Year 5 families. A special thank you to Anne (from Year 2) for creating such a beautiful display in the staff room! On behalf of all our educators, thank you to every parent and carer who made our team feel so valued and appreciated. I feel truly blessed to work alongside such a dedicated, inspiring staff community.

Year 4s are off to camp this week and we are all so excited to be going to Mill Valley
