Principal's News 

Good afternoon families,

Finally we have a Summer. However, I must say I am pleased it only went for 3 days and now we have some cooler days to recover.We are well and truly back with a full calendar of activities throughout the school. It brings such a spirit of excited anticipation and normality, after 3 years of uncertainty and limited school activities.

We welcome to the staff, Miss Jacinta Frizzerio. Jacinta will be teaching Year 3RD for this term.

Thank you to the families who have volunteered to help in our school garden, over the weekends and holidays. The garden is looking lovely and producing a large variety of fruit, vegetables and herbs. The students are particularly enjoying the animals.
