CLASS SHIELD

This week we are focusing on children accepting differences between each other. They can show this by being helpful, speaking in a polite and friendly way and looking at others to see how they’re feeling.

PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Opera House Choir Once again, I was lucky to travel to the Opera House with Mrs Shaw and the senior choir for the Choral Festival. This is the third year our school has been part of the festival and it was yet another outstanding success. I congratulate the members of our senior choir on their commitment to practice and performing and thank them for being an amazing bunch! It was a long but fantastic day.

Voting for 2018 School Leadership Team Today, students nominated for a leadership position in 2018 presented their speeches to the school, voting then followed. Our school captains and sports captains will be announced at Presentation Day on Tuesday, 5th December. PRINCIPALS RECOGNITION I thank Mrs Sara Waldron for organising and running yet another successful Kindy Transition Program. I thank Mrs Carole Shaw for supporting our primary choir on its journey to the Opera House. I also recognise Mrs Sarah Sims and Mrs Megan Jackson for their work with the choirs throughout the year. I also thank Mr John Grimley for organising the PSSA Combined Sports.

Working together as partners in the education of your child.
