(Acting) Principal's Report

Dear Parents and Carers,

It has been an action packed start to Term 4 with sporting events, learning incursions, our 5/6 students receiving the sacrament of Confirmation and preparations for the fair. You'll find out about all of these activities and much more that has taken place in the last two weeks in this edition of the newsletter.

We have also seen the return of staff from leave including Helen Llyod who is recovering from knee surgery. The students and staff were delighted to have Helen back, so much so that the Year 2's welcomed her back in song.

Thank you to Carmel Brownhill, who normally works in Helen's class on a Friday, for taking the class in Helen's absence. She ensured that the class continued to run smoothly (contrary to the lyrics of the song) throughout Helen's time away.

On Monday we also welcome back Marty who returns from his leave. We will all be very glad to have him back (none more so than me!)

Countdown to the Fair (6 Days to go!)

There has been a great deal of buzz and activity around the school as our annual school fair draws closer. The excitement is certainly building. Thank you to all those who are working so hard to bring together this wonderful school event.
