Principal Report
Dear Families
Writing this last newsletter for the year, has come quickly, having only had the privilege of leadership for six short weeks. Yet, it has been a busy time filled with events and excitement and some farewells to staff and students. I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday and I look forward to welcoming 270+ students back to our school next term.
End of Year Events
Thank you to all of our families, students and staff – for what I have heard was the most amazing End of Year Concert we have hosted. The turn out for parents was phenomenal and we loved having you all on the grounds for a family picnic. The students ‘Rock and Rolled’ us throughout the nights and some wonderful recognition received for our award winners.
The Graduation Ceremony was fabulous, with our Year 6 students stealing the show in their finest clothing, and they enjoyed a wonderful disco provided by their families and supervision provided by our dedicated staff. Thank you to all our special guests for supporting us through time and sponsorship. Thank you to Mrs Danielle Crilly and Mr Jason Willett for organising such a wonderful event.
Thank You School Board and P&C
Thank you to our School Board and P&C for supporting our school throughout the year, these partnerships are crucial to our success as a school and we are very grateful for the time, resources and energy you have provided.
