Principal’s Note As the end of 2016 draws near I congratulate all staff and students on their work during another successful year of learning. IPS students have shown they are keen to be challenged in the fields of academic, environment, sporting, creative, public speaking, debating, music, citizenship and continued service to our school. Their commitment, effort and energy are outstanding. In 2017 our school will continue the successful learning programs and strive for continual improvement to build the best educational opportunities for our students. I would like to wish all our staff, students and families a safe and fun Christmas

break and look forward to the new school year.

Congratulations to all students who received an award to recognise their efforts and achievements. During the night the audience was entertained by the Primary Choir. Jessica Partridge and Narelle Isaacs-Munro enthusiastic speeches were well received and showcased the high level of Public Speaking at IPS.

Christmas Carols in the Hall

was enjoyed by all. As a special treat Mrs Aitken, Mrs Hare and a very talented group of singers performed

a range of Christmas Carols in the hall during lunch for everyone to enjoy.
