From the School Leadership Team
Welcome Back to Term 4!
What an exciting term we have ahead of us! Term 4 is always a special time in our school calendar, filled with celebration, community connection, and wonderful opportunities for our students to shine.
We're beginning the term with our much-anticipated School and Church Community Fete this weekend! This is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community, enjoy the festivities, and support our church and school. We hope to see many families there for a fun-filled day.
We'll be celebrating our remarkable Year 6 students as they prepare to graduate and move on to their next chapter. We're incredibly proud of all they've achieved during their time with us, and look forward to both the Year 6 Dinner and Graduation Service to honour their journey and accomplishments.
Our sporting calendar is packed this term! Students will be participating in SACSA Basketball and Connected Schools Athletics, representing our school with pride and demonstrating their teamwork and athletic abilities. Good luck to all our competitors!
We're thrilled that a number of our talented students will be performing at the Festival of Music. This is a fantastic opportunity for them to showcase their musical abilities on a bigger stage, and we are looking forward to their performances!
Community Events
Mark your calendars for these special occasions:
- P&F Family Fun Afternoon – A chance to relax, play, and connect with other families in our school community
- Middle of Term Breakfast – Start your day with us for a delicious breakfast and great company
- Christmas Carols Concert – Join us for a joyful celebration of the birth of Jesus with carols and performances
- Thanksgiving/Closing Service – an opportunity to give thanks for our blessings and achievements this year and to recognise and honour the contribution of a number of our students, staff and families.
We're excited to welcome our new Foundation students for 2026! Transition activities will be taking place to help our newest learners feel comfortable and confident as they prepare to join our school family.
Term 4 truly is a celebration of everything that makes our school community special. We look forward to seeing you at these events and finishing the year on a high note together!
STEM and Music Classroom Upgrades
You may have noticed some construction work taking place around our STEM and Music classroom block adjacent to the main courtyard. We are currently undertaking some important remediation work to address moisture issues that developed over time.
The original pavers and fill underneath were installed too high against the building slab, which unfortunately caused moisture problems. Our current work involves drying out the slab completely, carrying out any necessary internal remediation in both classroom spaces, and then reinstalling the pavers at the correct lower level. This will prevent the same issue from occurring in the future and ensure these valuable learning spaces remain in excellent condition for our students.
We appreciate your patience during this improvement work and look forward to having these spaces fully operational again soon.
Volunteering in the School
We appreciate many families giving of their time and expertise to volunteer in the school, whether it be with our school canteen, P & F Events, school camps, GLOW Week or classroom assistance. A reminder to please ensure that your WWCC details are up to date, along with RAHN and VSC training. Further information on our volunteering requirements is available from our website.
