Term 3 Concludes with Excitement and Anticipation for Term 4

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

As we bid farewell to another incredible term, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the achievements and highlights of Term 3, and also share some exciting news about what lies ahead in Term 4.

Term 3 has been a journey of growth, learning, and community. Our students have consistently demonstrated their dedication to their learning and their kindness towards one another. Teachers, support staff, and parents have all played pivotal roles in fostering a nurturing and enriching environment for our young learners.

We've witnessed numerous achievements, both big and small, from academic accomplishments to creative endeavours, and I couldn't be prouder of our students' efforts. Your unwavering support, commitment, and enthusiasm continue to make our school an extraordinary place of learning.

Some of the many highlights included:

The Indian festival of Ganesh Chaturthi where our community joined together in presenting a wonderful showcase to acknowledge and celebrate Lord Ganesha for wisdom and intelligence
National Girls Choir visit
Prep – Grade 2 and grades 3 – 6 Athletics days
District Athletics
Incursions and Excursions, including our Enviro Leaders winning the Compost Award

With the start of Term 4 just around the corner, I am delighted to share some exciting developments that will make Carnegie PS an even more inclusive place for all. We will be installing ramps around the school premises to ensure that all our students, regardless of physical abilities, can move freely and comfortably throughout the school.

Additionally, you can expect to see various maintenance activities. We will be focusing on drywall plastering, painting, and general maintenance to enhance the overall appearance and functionality of our school facilities. These efforts are a testament to our dedication to providing a safe and aesthetically pleasing learning environment for our students.
