Grade 6 Incursion

The Grade 6 students had an incursion on Tuesday about Positive Peer Relationships.  This day involved building personal and social skills to enhance the quantity and quality of interpersonal interactions. The two sessions included growing my social skills and building stronger relationships.  Both sessions develop skills and cover the following concepts: the power of empathy, active listening, connection, bullying & the science of kindness, conflict resolution, bystander vs upstander, teamwork and rising by lifting others. 

Prep/Foundation Enrolments 2025

Enrolments for 2025 are now open for foundation/prep students.  We have held numerous tours in Term 1 and will continue these during Term 2.  There will be an open morning for prospective parents on Wednesday 15th May from 9:30am to 11am. 

To our current families with a child/children commencing Prep in 2025, please ensure you fill out the enrolment form and return to the office by the due date, 26th July.  

Year 6 to 7 Transition Information

The Grade 6 team sent via compass on Monday information regarding year 7 secondary school placement for 2025. If you are a parent of a grade 6 child and have not read compass, please make time to do this. Students were given an application form for Year 7 placement 2025. Parents need to fill out all applicable sections of this form and return it no later than Friday 10th May. Please ensure you read the information carefully and have filled out the form correctly to avoid us having to return it to you for completion. 

Unwell Students 

Unfortunately, it is that time of the year when colds and flu symptoms seem to be a common occurrence. We appreciate that attendance is important, however, if your child has symptoms and is unwell, please keep them at home, this will help stop the spread of colds and flu to other children and staff.  We have also had a few cases of Gastro, a reminder children should not be sent to school until 48 hours after the last episode.

Kind regards

Leanne Bradney
