Lots to Celebrate 

Our school has recently completed its triennial review, and we are delighted to share that it was an incredibly positive and affirming process. The review recognised the wonderful progress we have made as a school and, most importantly, celebrated the areas where we are excelling. We were acknowledged for our strong achievements in Wellbeing, Leadership, and Support and Resources. Excelling in Wellbeing means that our students are learning in a safe, inclusive, and caring environment where their social, emotional, and academic needs are well supported. Recognition in Leadership reflects the way our school leaders, staff, and students work together with a shared vision, empowering everyone to contribute to shaping our school. Being acknowledged for Support and Resources shows that we are making the most of our people, facilities, and partnerships to ensure all students have the opportunities they need to flourish. This feedback is a celebration of our whole community—students, staff, and families—who all play a vital role in making our school such a special place. We look forward to sharing a summary of the review report with our school community in Term 4.

 

NAPLAN - I would also like to take this opportunity to celebrate our outstanding 2025 NAPLAN results. Congratulations to our Year 5 students for the incredible growth they have shown since Year 3—with significantly more of our students demonstrating high growth compared to students in similar schools and to Year 5 students across the state. Bravo to you all—we are very proud! Even more impressively, this same cohort has outperformed students in both similar schools and across the state in Numeracy, Writing, and Reading. An outstanding achievement and a credit to the hard work of our students, staff, and families.

Foundation Enrolments Are Due NOW!

A friendly reminder that we are finalising enrolments for 2026 Foundation students. If you have a child at home—or perhaps a neighbour’s little one—who is due to start school next year, please contact the school as soon as possible. Early confirmation of enrolments is very important, as it helps us plan our workforce needs for 2026 and prepare for our Term 4 Transition Program.

 

Wishing everyone a wonderful Spring holiday break—may it be filled with special moments with family and friends. 

 

Stay safe, take care, and keep smiling!
