School Leaders Badge Presentation

I wish to begin by announcing our 2023 Student Wellbeing Ambassador as Lucy.  Lucy is highly passionate about the mental health of our students, and wanting to make sure all students feel safe, welcomed and happy at school. Congratulations Lucy!

Last Monday, we presented our 2023 School Leaders. 

House Swimming Sports

Last Friday, our Year 3 to 6 students, plus some of our last year's Year 6 students, took part in our annual House Swimming Sports. It was a wonderful sunny day, and all students had the opportunity to race against peers at a similar swimming ability. There were a number of teachers who helped with pool running and also joined the races to try to push along our swimmers. 

We now have 10 students progressing onto the Division Swimming Sport this coming Friday. We wish them all the very best. 

A huge congratulations goes out to Red House who, once again, took out the House Shield, and also the teachers swim team for taking out the Students vs Teachers vs Parents relay at the end of the day.

Thank you to Miss Feely, the teachers, the parent helpers and the students for making the day a huge success.
