Message from Principal Sarah

From Sarah Nightingale, Principal 

Congratulations to all our students, families and staff on the near completion of Term 1. What a busy, successful and rewarding term it has been! 

 

Last week saw the completion of our Parent Teacher Interviews. These interviews are an important avenue involving parents and students in the learning process and an opportunity to acknowledge student progress and achievement throughout the term. Thank you to those families that were able to attend.

We also ended the week with our 3-6 Cross Country which was a huge success, with no doubt many weary legs on Friday afternoon. Congratulations to all students on their efforts! 

 

While we are talking to about sporting achievements, we would like to congratulate our Year 6 students who participated in the Regional Swimming event last week. These swimmers came 1st place in the relay and are off to the State Swimming event next. We wish them all the best!

Lost Property

As the term draws to an end, we have a large pile of lost property, including jumpers, hats, drink bottles and other items. If your child is missing anything, please take the time to view our lost property box after assembly on Thursday. Any unnamed items not collected by the end of the term will be donated to charity.

A reminder that Monday 24 April is a Pupil Free Day. This is the first day of Term 2 prior to the ANZAC day public holiday on Tuesday 25th April.  We look forward to seeing all students back on site at our Errol Street Campus from Wednesday 26th April for another term of great learning!
