Principal's Report

No Hat No play - I know its pouring today but as we in Term 4 every student needs to have a hat to be able to go outside to play. Thanks

 

Welcome back!

 I hope you have all had a fabulous break - ready for another busy term.

We welcome back Amanda Callaway, Sarah Bailey and Shar McKenzie.

 

I am very excited to announce the safe arrival of beautiful  Daisy Mae McQualter. 

Sian and the family are all thrilled and loving the new addition!

 

 

Irish Dancing National Championships

Erin (5/6B) and Aisling (3/4M) recently returned from Perth after competing at the Irish Dancing National Championships where Erin placed 2nd (of 41 competitors) and Aisling 3rd (of 37 competitors).

 

The girls are no strangers to high-level competition, with both having won multiple state titles, but it was a long road for them to Perth both literally and figuratively. The championships were originally scheduled for Perth in October 2020 but were postponed to 2021 and then again to 2022 due to COVID travel restrictions, so they were both very excited to finally get to compete at the top level.

 

Congratulations Erin and Aisling! It's great to see your hard work (and plenty of Zoom classes during Melbourne's extended lockdowns) paid off in the end.

 

 

NO ASSEMBLY next Friday 14 October - due to a large number of students who will be performing in The Lion King. 

 

Good luck to all the students who are performing! You have all put in alot of hard work!
