A Message from the Principal

Times Tables Challenge

Last Thursday all our primary students entered a Times Tables Challenge. The teachers were thrilled with the improvement evident in the students’ level of participation. Learning tables is a worthwhile skill which will be used throughout life. 

Congratulations to our winners : Sienna Thompson from Year 3/4 and Zeb Allan from Year 5/6.   Consistent effort awards went to Logan Allan and Phoebe Farrant-Wills.

Next term all our primary students will be working extra hard on their spelling. We will have a Spelling Bee towards the end of term. These fun challenge days give our students the opportunity to work hard towards a goal. I encourage all families to help their children master the spelling lists which will be sent home early next term.

NAIDOC Week Celebrations   

We celebrate NAIDOC Week this Thursday 29th June at 11.30am- 1.15pm. I invite all our families to attend and join us in prayer followed by activities including painting, storytelling and outdoor games. Thanks to our wonderful  AEA Judy Allan and Sarah - Jane Canham for organising this important event for our community.

As the term draws to a close I would like to share a prayer our staff prayed together this week:

We thank you Lord, for this term

For our challenges, our successes and the mistakes from which we have learnt. 

Be with us as we spend our time with family and friends.

Give us strength and courage to do what is right. 

Help us to be practical Christians these holidays; to appreciate what others do for us and to give time and effort to help others. 

Help us to be peacemakers in our families.

Keep us safe in our activities; give us good rest and good fun. 

Bring us back refreshed and ready for a new term.

Term 3 begins for staff on Monday 17th July and students return on Tuesday 18th July.

I wish all our families a safe, relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
