Principal Report

Welcome to Term 4. I hope that you have all had a wonderful break and managed to recharge ready for the craziness that comes with this time of year! I am so proud of all the students and staff in how they have settled in so far this term. 

It was a very big week for the 3/4 team who went off to camp this week. It was a huge success, and everyone was treated to amazing weather. While there were some tears when they left on Monday, from students and parents, everyone had a great time. 

For many, term 4 can bring about increased stress and anxiety as we prepare for changes in 2025. We will have a full process for class allocation that will involve students and families with more details to come soon. If you know that your child will not be attending APS next year, can you please let the office know ASAP.

Staffing Updates:

I, Tyson Smith, will be on parental leave from Wednesday 23rd October - 11th Feb 2025. During this time Erin McNamara will be Acting Principal, Emma Sprakel will be Acting Assistant Principal and Michelle Apollonio will be Acting Learning Specialist. I would like to congratulate all three of these valued staff members for their successful acting appointments and know that the school is in very safe and caring hands while I am away. I will be popping in every now and then, so I will never be too far away.
