Principal's Report

Art Show

The hall is looking magnificent in preparation for our 2025 Art Show! Even to my exceptionally untrained eye, the quality of art on display is clearly evident this year. I am also particularly excited to see so many entries from current or former students of the school.

Tonight we have the annual opening event, with tickets still available at the door. Come along for a great social night with drinks and nibbles included in the ticket - with a portion of all artworks sold go directly to support the school's art programs.

Many thanks again to our incredible Art Show committee, particularly our coordinators Kathryn and Dorte, who are sadly presiding over their final Robbie Mac Art Show! Events such as these simply do not happen without willing volunteers - our Art Show committee is always on the lookout for new members, so please contact the office or speak to a committee member at the Art Show if you would like to join the 2026 team!

Thanks also to all of the generous sponsors of the 2025 Art Show, including major sponsor, Bendigo Bank.

Colour Run

The 2025 Colour Run was once again a brilliant success, with a dynamic team of volunteers ensuring all students had a great time getting messy while running around the oval!

See the What's Happening Page of this newsletter for some great photos of the day.

Thank you very much to every single volunteer, including our amazing coordinator, Andrew, who did a magnificent job once again.

Thank you also to all community members who donated to the event to support our school.

Students Raising Awareness of Important Causes!

As highlighted in the Info & Reminders section of the newsletter, it's great to see our students advocating for charitable causes, such as the upcoming Cancer Council free-dress day. 

We love to celebrate student voice at our school and congratulate these students on their proactive, community minded attitudes!
