Message from the Principal

Dear parents, staff and students,

Canteen As of the start of next term, our canteen will operate on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Please ensure that your child is provided with sufficient recess and lunch on Mondays and Tuesdays. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Mrs Kirkup for her efforts in the canteen this term.

Councillors Thank you and congratulations to our Semester One Student Leaders (Faction Captains and Student Councillors) on their outstanding contributions to the school. Semester Two Student Leaders will be announced at the start of next term. Well done to Jessie Zurakowski, Ashlyn Tiedtke, Danielle Barnachea, Imogen Bailey, Jake Simpson, Leah Haeata, Kaylee O’Rourke and Arjuna Veaudry for successfully fulfilling their roles as Student Councillors and for being excellent role models to our students.

Reports Semester One reports will be sent home in the last week of this term. Parents who have requested reports to be emailed to them will receive a link to their child’s report. Please note that this link will only remain active for 4 weeks. Please take the time to discuss your child’s report with them. Celebrate their successes and encourage improvement where needed. If your child’s teacher has requested an interview, I urge you to accept this invitation. Please contact the school to arrange a suitable time.

Interschool Carnival Congratulations to all our students on their outstanding performance at the carnival last Friday. Thank you to all our senior school teachers for training the students for the competition and especially to Mr Maidens for organising the event.

End of Term Thank you to our students, families and staff for a very rewarding semester. Mr Harris will return at the start of next term. I would like to thank our school community for their support whilst I have been in the role of principal at our school. I would like to wish you all a wonderful holiday and hope that you all come back refreshed and energised for another busy term. Parents are reminded that students return for the start of Term Three on Monday 17th July.

Pirate Day

On Friday 9th June, students were encouraged to come to school dressed as a pirate to show their support for Pirate Day.

Pirate Day Friday is an annual national event created to generate awareness and much needed funds for the research of and prevention of childhood cancer.

We were very fortunate to have Chloe Clements address the school at our assembly last week. Chloe delivered an inspirational speech and detailed her own personal experience with cancer.

Thank you to all our community for their support of this worthy cause. Through your generosity we managed to raise $500.00
