Getting to Know You Interviews
We are looking forward to our upcoming “Getting to Know You” interviews, which will be held on.
Tuesday 24th February between 3:50-7pm
Tuesday 3rd March between 3:50-5pm
Wednesday 4th March between 3:50-5pm
All meetings will be held in your child’s classroom, please look out for signage on the day if you’re unsure.
These meetings are an important opportunity for families and teachers to connect early in the year, build positive relationships, and share insights about each child’s strengths, interests and goals. They help us work in partnership to ensure every student feels supported and set up for success. Students are not required to attend this meeting.
Bookings will open at 4:00pm today (Friday 13th February) via Compass, and we encourage families to secure a time that suits best. Please be mindful when booking siblings, as booking back-to-back won’t allow enough time to move from one meeting to the next. We recommend leaving a gap in between.
We look forward to meeting with you and continuing a strong home–school partnership for the year ahead.
2026 Foundation
CONGRATULATIONS to our Foundation students who have made a truly wonderful start to 2026. It has been a joy to see how confidently they have settled into school routines, built new friendships and embraced the excitement of learning. From exploring their classrooms to participating enthusiastically in their first activities, our newest learners have shown curiosity, resilience and kindness. We are so proud of the way they are adapting to school life and look forward to watching their confidence and skills continue to grow throughout the year.
A special mention to our Foundation parent/carers as well — starting school is a big milestone for families too. Your support, encouragement and bravery in helping your child take this important step have made all the difference. We appreciate the trust you place in us and look forward to partnering with you throughout the year.
I look forward to seeing you all around our amazing school.
Best wishes,
Assistant Principal
