Wellbeing

As we approach the festive season, the Wellbeing Team would like to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support throughout the year. It’s been a joy working alongside you to nurture and support the growth and well-being of all our students.

We wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with peace, joy, and special moments together. May this holiday season bring you rest, happiness, and the opportunity to enjoy the simple pleasures of family and togetherness.

Thank you for everything you do to support your child’s well-being and learning journey. We look forward to continuing our partnership in the year ahead.

Main things to note:

*2025 classes

These are complete. Our school values are Respect, Resilience and Citizenship. We encourage our parents to promote resilience as your children experience change heading into a new year—new teacher, new class, new friends. We are expanding their window of tolerance to enable them to become resilient individuals. We have spent many hours working on class lists using detailed knowledge and professional judgements. We are very happy with them. 

*BOOKLISTS and PARENT PAYMENTS-These have now been sent out over COMPASS.

THRIVE DIARIES/CURRICULUM-these are on the Parent Payment list—please make sure you purchase one as we will be using them from the start of the year.

*BREAKFAST CLUB – EATING ZONE—In 2025 the Eating Zone will be the Prep Oval area so litter does not leave the area. 

COMPASS-Parent Wellbeing notifications

If you get a Compass notification to say a Chronicle has been made in Compass—you just need to open the App to see more details. The email is just an alert to you. We have alerts for ‘Out of Uniform’, “Positive Behaviours’, ‘Thrive Awards” and “Additional Food Supplied”. 

Bella has been on holidays but we look forward to seeing her again in 2025.

PLAYLEADERS 2025 have been announced. We will be delighted to work with them for training in early 2025 so they can run activities in the yard for our junior school students.

THRIVE/WELLBEING CAPTAINS 2025-This is a new position for 2025 and we look forward to working with Mia Taranto and Kara Busuttil-Bullock in 2025.

Please have a happy and safe break and we look forward to seeing you in 2025.
