Principal's Message

Welcome Morning
It was terrific to welcome a number of new and existing schol community members to an informal morning tea earlier this week. Thanks to those who came along to grab a coffee, a pastry and to have a chat.
Year 6 Camp
As mentioned in last week’s newsletter, our Year students, staff and parent helpers enjoyed a fantastic week at Coonawarra Farm Resort in East Gippsland. Coonawarra is a wonderful camp, where students enjoy a range of adventure and other activities, have fun with their friends and challenge themselves. Congratulations to all students on their adventurous spirit and positive attitude and thanks to parent helpers Bruce Millward, Matt Symmons, Elley Potgieter, Deanna Edsall as well as pre service teacher Tom Rogers. A special thank-you to staff members Michelle Chen, Craig Gooding, Nick Hewish and Jo Simpson for their contribution prior to and throughout the week.
