Welcome to Term 4. I hope you and your families are all well rested and have had lots of opportunities for quality family time over the break. I wish Lynda a well deserved break with her family as she sets off to explore new places. I’m looking forward to working with all the staff to support our students and families.

WORLD TEACHERS' DAY- 5th OCTOBER

World Teachers’ Day 2023 is a day of recognition and appreciation for teachers around the world. It was established by the United Nations as a day to celebrate the profound impact teachers have on society by equipping students with the skills, knowledge, and values needed for success. This day also serves as a reminder of the importance of quality education and the role of teachers in achieving it. All our wonderful staff were gifted with a sustainable drink bottle as a small token of appreciation for all the work they do with students and families.

SCHOOL HATS & SUMMER UNIFORM   

Students are required to wear hats during Term 4. Students without hats will be required to sit in the shade (no hat- no play). Hats are available from PSW, our school uniform supplier if your child requires a new one. The first two weeks of Term 4 are the transitional period from Winter to Summer uniform. Students are required to be in full summer uniform by week 3 (Monday, 16th October).
