Principal's Message

Welcome Back Everyone!

Huge shout out to all of our beautiful families who have been so positive in the face of so many changes and already responded to the short notice RAT's email. Thank you! (It was actually great to see so many of you and hear that you have had good breaks.)

The RAT's that were not picked up have been sent home today with students.

Visiting each class today has been amazing, students are settled and getting used to our new times for lunch and recess. Specialist classes started today as well. We are looking forward to being able to stay teaching onsite and having the best year of learning ever.. 

As always as we navigate COVID and household contacts and the isolation periods this will be treated with sensitivity across the school and in classes. Thank you to everyone for notifying the school through the school email.
