Grade 6 Graduation

Next Tuesday, our Grade 6 students undertake their graduation as part of their final days of primary school with us. The event will be a great way for the students to celebrate their final year with their peers and teachers with some finger food and a disco to follow.

 We would like to wish the year 6s well as they head off to secondary school next year. We know they are ready and will make the most of all the opportunities that are presented to them. 

Please note: Only students departing the school and graduating are allowed to have their school shirts signed on the final day of the year - Thursday 19 December.

WEARING CORRECT SCHOOL UNIFORM IN 2025

 As we head into the holiday break, we’d like to thank families for their support in maintaining uniform standards throughout 2024. We know many of you will be reviewing and refreshing uniform supplies in preparation for the new year.

In 2025, we’ll continue our focus on ensuring all students wear the correct uniform, which fosters pride and a sense of belonging. We’ve been really pleased with the students' commitment so far.

We kindly ask for your assistance in making sure all uniform items purchased over the break meet our school uniform guidelines, available on our website.

Key reminders:

• Clothing must be logo-free, except for the official school logo.
• Only school shorts are allowed (no sports or athletic shorts).
• Black shoes only.

Thank you for your ongoing cooperation and support.

Christmas Dress Up Day on the Last Day of Term

A reminder that on the last day of term, students are encouraged to dress up in a Christmas related theme! This is always a fun day and a nice way to finish the term as we head off on the holiday break. 

Grade 6 students (and any other students permanently leaving the school) usually wear their uniform on this day in order to get it signed by their classmates. 

A Reminder About Lollies as Choking Hazards

Around this time each year, we see an increase of Christmas cards and lollies (mostly candy canes but not limited to these) coming to school and being shared as a gift for Christmas. 

Whilst we are not discouraging the kids from showing this kindness to their peers, these lollies can pose a choking hazard if not consumed appropriately and may also contain ingredients that may cause an anaphylactic reaction in some children. 

As such, we ask that all families take the time to talk to their children about saving any lollies that they receive until they get home. Our staff will also be reminding students of this. 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
