Principal's update

Hello everyone, 

Here is the newsletter for week five:

This morning we held an open day for future enrolments. I always enjoy showing people around our school and talking about everything that makes Taradale PS so special. People who had not been to the school before commented on how friendly the children were and how inviting the school looks and feels. If you know of anyone who was unable to attend the open morning, please let them know they can contact me to arrange a tour at another time.

Mothers Day stall and raffle

Congratulations to raffle winner Fiona who was very happy with the hamper. Fiona also said the brownies she purchased from our stall were the best she has ever had - so thank you to the brownie chef!

2025 Taradale Calendar

The Parents and Friends Group has had a 2025 calendar printed. The calendar is full of beautiful pictures of Taradale and lists local dates. The calendar is available for purchase from the school office for $12-. A sample copy is also availalbe for viewing.

Volunteers

We welcome volunteers at our school. Volunteers can assist in many ways at the school including working bees, listening to children read, helping in our SAKG gardening and cooking classes. 

Our SAKG classes run each week on Tuesday. The gardening classes run for an hour and the cooking class is for the morning. You can volunteer as a one off or as many times as you would like to. Mel and Chris do all of the planning and organising, volunteers support Children with activities and tasks. 

If you are interested in volunteering, please see Chris

2024 and beyond enrolments

We are now taking enrolments for 2024 Preps and other years. 

If you know of anyone looking to enrol at Taradale, please let them know we aren't full and that we can accept enrolments from outside the neighbourhood catchment.
