Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to the last newsletter for the term.
As we come to the end of another busy and productive term, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on some of the wonderful experiences we’ve shared as a school community.
Term highlights
One of the highlights this term was our Iftar Community Dinner, which was attended by over 250 people. It was a truly special evening filled with amazing food and a strong sense of community. Thank you to all the families and staff who joined us and contributed to making it such a memorable event.
Our Meet the Teacher afternoon was another success, providing families with the opportunity to learn about their child's upcoming year of learning and to meet the teachers who will be working with them everyday. The free sausage sizzle was a hit as well!
The student leadership team enjoyed a Captains and Prefects Morning Tea with their parents. This gathering was a wonderful chance to celebrate our students' achievements and recognise the vital support their parents provide.
Also, throughout the term, students have enjoyed participating in Footsteps Dance Lessons, which were provided at no cost to families. These sessions have been a fantastic opportunity for students to develop new skills and have fun through movement and music.
Looking ahead to next term, we are excited to introduce the Life Skills Program for all students. This program, also fully funded by the school, will focus on mindfulness and emotional regulation—important skills that will support students’ well-being and resilience.
Attendance Matters
This week, I met with our Home School Liaison Officer from the Department of Education to review our school attendance. During this meeting, several students' attendance records were identified as concerning. Some families will receive letters this week regarding the need for improvement in their child's attendance. It is vital that all parents and carers prioritise student attendance, ensuring that children come to school on time every day unless they are unwell.
Kindergarten
Lastly, congratulations to our kindergarten students for completing their first term at school! They have settled in remarkably well and adjusted to their new routines beautifully.
Thank you for your ongoing support this term. Wishing all our students and families a safe and happy holiday. We look forward to seeing you back next term, refreshed and ready for more learning!
Warm regards,
Jodie Landon
Principal
