World Teachers’ Day – Friday 30 October

Who will you be for World Teachers’ Day? Mr Corbett? Mrs Griffin? Mr Reardon? Or perhaps another teacher who has made a positive impact on your life? 👩‍🏫👨‍🏫

On Friday 30 October (Week 4, Term 4), students are invited to dress up as their teacher or favourite teacher! We encourage everyone to get creative, have fun and celebrate the wonderful teachers who inspire us every day.

Students are also asked to bring a gold coin donation, with all money raised going towards Reading Out of Poverty (ROOP), a charity that helps improve access to books and literacy resources for children in need. 📚💚

We can’t wait to see everyone’s creative costumes and celebrate the amazing people who make a difference in our lives!

Maintained supervision during afterschool activities 

If your child participates in an external co-curricular activity (or club) afterschool, such as swimming or tennis, we kindly ask that they remain in the designated area while awaiting their session. 

For example, students waiting for a swimming lesson should remain within the pool area rather than moving to other spaces such as the basketball courts.

Thank you for your support in helping us maintain a safe and well-supervised environment for all students at all times.

☀️ No Hat, No Play

We are noticing an increasing number of students arriving at PE lessons without a hat. Our spare hat supply is very limited.

Please ensure your child brings their own clearly named hat to school every day. Hats are an important part of our SunSmart policy and are required for outdoor activities, including PE.

Thank you for helping us keep our students safe in the sun.
