Principal's Report

JAPANESE FESTIVAL DAY

The kids love this day, and Friday’s event was no exception. A big well done to Mrs Cray and Mrs Morgan who put a lot of thought and work into planning and running such a successful day.  And thank you to parents and carers who supported the kids with costumes and cash for the Japanese Shop, helping them to get in the spirit and ready for the day. As you can tell by the photos, the Japan Shop was incredibly popular.

For many years our school has run a quality Japanese program, exposing students to Japanese language and culture.  This includes a trip to Japan for a select group of 5-6 students every second year and it’s good to know that next year we’ll have another group of students join staff and parents to experience Japan firsthand.

MOTHER’S DAY

We wish all mums a happy Mother’s Day for Sunday.  There are several things happening at school this week in the lead up to this day, which is all part of encouraging our kids to be thoughtful and the importance of showing gratitude.  It’s always nice to see the excitement in the room at the Mother’s Day Stall as the kids decide what to purchase for mum. 

And of course, we have our second Mother’s Day Breakfast on Thursday at the Bowling Club and are expecting a large crowd.  We know it will be a nice event and know this event will be a permanent feature on the annual calendar. 

BOOK FAIR

Well done to Kim Dargaville for organising and running another successful Book Fair.  Our Book Fairs are a great way of promoting a love of books and reading to our students, whilst raising valuable funds (in the form of books) to keep our library stocked with contemporary books. 

A big thankyou to the many parents that supported this event.

ELECTION DAY BBQ

Well done to Tracey Coats for doing the lion’s share of organising the election day BBQ and to the parents and staff that popped in for an hour or two to help out on Saturday.  It’s always nice for the school to have a presence on election days and of course it’s good to raise a few dollars along the way.

SCHOOL PHOTOS

Thank you to everyone that has ordered their photos via Compass. If you haven't already you can still purchase them via the Portal.  Alternatively, please call MSP office 5333 5577 and the order can be taken over the phone. 

Once the orders have gone to the lab for printing, a late order fee will be incurred.

We expect the photos to arrive in approximately 3 weeks.
