Principal's Report

Welcome Back - 2026

Welcome back to all our students, families and staff. I hope you enjoyed a restful and safe break and are feeling refreshed for the year ahead. The start of a new school year is always an exciting time, full of new opportunities for learning, growth and connection. We are looking forward to working closely with our families to ensure every child feels safe, valued, and ready to learn. 

A very special mention to all our new Foundation students and families. Ms Colombo, Ms Fasone, Ms Fontana and Ms Gordon have been sharing how amazing they have been. What a great start, and we cannot wait to see you all again next week.

Your child/ren has hopefuly came home and told them all about their last two days. They mentioned some new staff faces and new students in the school yard.
