Principal’s Message Week 10

As we reach the end of Term 3, I’d like to wish all of our families a safe and happy holiday. I hope you find some time to relax, recharge, and enjoy some solid family time together.

This term has been filled with wonderful opportunities for learning and community connection. Together we enjoyed our whole school bowling reward, Under 8’s Day, the P–2 excursion to Stanley River EEC, the Cono Cook Off, Book Fair, Grandparents’ Morning Tea, Father’s Day Breakfast, classroom visits with Amamoor SS, the Oz Tag Gala Day, Prep transition activities, and the support of Year 9 work experience students from Maleny High. These experiences have made Term 3 a rich and rewarding one for our students.

Attendance has improved, and with it, student effort and achievement. Our teachers have shared with me how proud they are of the work produced this term. It has also been pleasing to see behaviour incidents in the playground reduce over the past fortnight, showing that students are working hard to solve problems more effectively.

As the weather warms up, please take the time in the holidays to ensure students have navy blue shorts/skorts to start Term 4. Your help in upholding our uniform policy is appreciated.

This Friday, we will celebrate our PBL reward. Students are invited to wear their pyjamas to school and take part in some “minute to win it” games. Pyjamas must be sun safe and suitable for both indoor and outdoor activities.

Looking ahead, Term 4 is always an exciting and busy time. Highlights include the 3–6 camp at Stanley River, PE swimming and the swimming carnival, our whole school concert, Year 6 graduation, and transition days for all year levels—just to name a few.

A huge thank you goes to our parents, carers and wider community who continue to support our school. In particular, our hard-working P&C play a vital role in making many of these experiences possible. Without their tireless efforts—such as catering at bike days—our students and school would not benefit nearly as greatly as they do. I would also like to acknowledge the dedication of our staff, whose commitment, care and creativity ensure our students have such a positive and productive school experience.

Thank you for your ongoing support throughout the term. I look forward to seeing everyone refreshed and ready for the challenges and celebrations of Term 4.

Kind Regards,

Louise Sanderson
