Principal's Message

Dear Families,

What a wild and windy week we have experienced recently. The school itself has held up extremely well despite the gale force winds which lashed our area, with only some minor damage recorded. I hope all of our school community has been as fortunate as us. 

Our annual book week parade was a sight to behold. I was blown away at all the fantastic costumes worn by students and staff as well as the great turn out by our school community to join in the event. Well done to all involved. 

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who supported the P&F Father’s Day stall last week. Your efforts in ensuring all 1200 + students across the school had an opportunity to purchase a gift for their father or significant other in their life is to be commended. 

Thank you!
