From the Principal

The End of a Term.

I'm not particularly sad that this term has come to an end, it has been an interesting learning curve for all of us & I think it is definitely a time for some reflection & relaxation.  I am very proud of all the achievements that all members of our school community have made this term & I know there are lots of things we have added to our bag of tricks. Thanks for all your support as we have navigated this time in our history - it's something that we will be sharing stories of for a long time.  Please continue to stay safe over the holidays, we have noticed a difference in the number of colds & sicknesses that usually have gone through the school by now - so keep up the hand washing & social distancing.   I look forward to a more 'normal' term for term 3.  See further in the newsletter for other dates and information that I have been asked about over the last week.  School resumes on Monday 13th July.

Student Resource Scheme

Families that have selected to engage in this scheme for classroom books this year have received their invoices & had a reminder from Ms Jensen.  We would appreciate you paying this as quickly as you can when you receive your invoice, using QKR or bpoint.  We cannot take payments over the phone anymore.

School Photos

School photos have been booked for Thursday 20th August.  This is a day that we would love to see students from Prep to Yr 5 in their sports house shirts.  Year 6 students are to wear their senior shirts.  More information will follow as we get closer to the date.

Step up into Education

I will send out information next term regarding our Pre-Prep program.  If you have 2021 Prep students or know any families wishing to enrol, please have them contact the office & join our mailing list.

COVID

Please see the latest COVID advice from the department & FAQ for parents.

School Opinion Survey

Parents and Caregivers are invited to participate in this year’s School Opinion Survey and have a say about schooling during the COVID-19 lockdown.  You are also given the opportunity to provide feedback about our school more generally.

Participation in the survey is anonymous and you are encouraged to take this opportunity to have your say.  The survey form has been designed so that it can easily be completed on a computer or smartphone. The online survey will be available until Friday, 17 July 2020, and should take less than five minutes to complete.
