TERM 4 LEADERSHIP UPDATE

Rosemary Cosentino will be returning as Principal full time next term and I will be returning to my role as Assistant Principal. It has been an honour and a privilege to have the opportunity to serve our community in this acting capacity. Sonya Branca, who has done an amazing job as Acting Assistant Principal, will be returning to her role with Brighton Primary School. On behalf of our staff, students, and wider community we would like to thank Sonya for all the fantastic work she has done during her short time with us and wish her all the best for the future!

PLAYGROUND UPDATE

Thank you to everyone who attended our virtual information session for the 2022 playground, it has been so exciting to be able to share the preliminary designs! As part of our consultation process we want to hear from you concerning your preferences and thoughts on the playground designs. We have shared the slide deck and survey on Compass so that you can see some more detailed images of the design choices.

END OF TERM 3 - EARLY DISMISSAL

I would like to thank staff, students and parents for all their work. It is always a challenging time with schools returning to remote learning, but it has been fantastic to see you all being 'involved and connected'. I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday break, and please make sure you try and find a way to recharge, whatever that is for you. This will look different for every family.  We will have a final assembly on Friday the 17th at 2:00 pm, and the end of term will be at 2:30 pm.
