Dear readers,
As Term 1 wraps up, I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our students, staff, and families for a fantastic start to the school year. It’s been a busy and rewarding term, filled with learning, growth, and community spirit. Whether in the classroom, out in the playground, or during special events, it’s been wonderful to see our students engaged and thriving. A huge thank you to our amazing staff for their ongoing dedication and care, and to our families for your continued support and involvement.
Wishing everyone a safe, restful, and well-deserved break. We look forward to welcoming you back for Term 2, refreshed and ready for more great learning ahead.
