Dear readers,
As we move into Week 8, the energy around the school is fantastic, and there’s plenty to look forward to! With the term well underway, I want to take a moment to recognise the dedication of our students, staff, and families as we continue working towards our goals.
Cross Country – Tuesday 18th March
One of the most exciting events of the term is finally here—our Cross Country was on today! It’s always a great day of fun, friendly competition, and school spirit. Whether you’re racing for the podium or just aiming to complete the course, we encourage every student to get involved, give their best, and enjoy the event. Thank you to the parents and families who came to cheer the kids on!
A Huge Thank You to Our P&C
Over the weekend, our incredible P&C put in countless hours behind the scenes to support our school. Whether it’s organising events, helping with fundraising, or making sure everything runs smoothly, their dedication makes a huge difference for our students and staff. On behalf of everyone at Conondale SS—thank you! Your support is deeply valued, and we appreciate all that you do.
