Hello everyone,

Here is the school newsletter for week six of term four.

If you have any questions or comments about anything, feel free to contact me.

prep/one drama performance - from Charmaine

A massive congratulations to the Prep/1s on their fantastic circus & magic performance on Monday! They did such a wonderful job performing their tricks and showed courage getting up on stage to perform in front of a big audience. Thank you to everyone who was able to come along to watch and to parents for all the gorgeous costumes. The kids looked fantastic and definitely increased the cuteness factor! Also, a special mention to Belle for coming along to help set up.

Transition session for 2026 prep students - starting next week

2026 enrolments - all year levels

For people still looking to enrol at a school for 2026, we are still running tours of the school and taking enrolments.

We are nearing our enrolment capacity, but with a larger than usual year 6 cohort leaving at the end of the year, next year we expect to be under the capacity and welcome enrolment enquiries from near and far - including people from outside the school zone.

If you or anyone you know is interested in knowing more about enrolling at Taradale PS, please contact me.

upcoming dates

20 November - Curriculum Day, student free day
19 December - last day of term 1.00pm dismissal
