Dear Students, Parents and Carers

We welcome you back this term with much delight and excitement into the school environment. 

Monday was the first day back for everyone and our students came through the school gates with big smiles, running and skipping in, waving and calling out to their friends. Their positivity, enthusiasm and resilience has been tested this year, but I can assure you that the first day back showed us that children have all these qualities and so much more! You have all done an incredible job at home supporting your own families through this pandemic, and we thank you for everything you have done.

The term ahead is going to be a busy one but we will hold onto the elements of schooling that ensure our students feel safe, nurtured, important, loved, unique, and known! Our road map for the next 10 weeks has been carefully planned and designed to meet the needs of our students, whatever that may be - academic, social or emotional! We will endeavour to keep communicating with you just as we have throughout the remote learning period and we would appreciate it if you did the same. 

Looking forward to an amazing Term ahead with all of you. 

Kindest Regards

Glennis Kerr

Teaching and Learning Leader
