From the Leadership Team
Dear families,
Welcome back to Term 4! We have a jammed packed term with lots of exciting events on our calendar. We hope you had a wonderful break in the school holidays with your children and it was great to see everyone back and settled last week.
We launched our Colour Run yesterday and look forward to our families becoming involved in this fundraising event for our school. The money raised from this fundraising will go towards resurfacing the grounds between 3 Block and the Grass Triangle with new rubber surfaces with fun activities. Please see the photos below for an idea of the type of activities we are looking at.
Our Year 5/6 students will be heading off on camp in Week 6 to Port Hughes and will have a wonderful time and enjoy the camp experience. We hope for good weather as there will be lots of outdoor adventures. We are looking forward to hearing all about it when they return.
To end off our year we are looking forward to the return of our Twilight End of Year Concert where each class gets to perform an item to the school community on the school oval. This year's concert theme will be 'Welcome to our 70's Party.' Students are going to be very busy learning their dance moves ready for the concert.
Our last Pupil Free Day for 2022 will be next Friday, 4 November, where we will be looking at our Site Improvement Plan and our 2022 data. Staff will be focussing on our Strategic Directions for the school leading into 2023.
End-of-year reports will be released on the Parent Portal once again on Wednesday, 14 December at 3:10 pm. We encourage parents to ensure that their registration details are correct and familiarise themselves with the portal. Please view the following attachment for more information:
