Week 11 brings us to the end of Term 1. It is hard to believe that a whole term has passed by already. We had Acquaintance Night, AGM, Sports Day, Year 6 Aquatics, numerous excursions, Parent Teacher Interviews, NAPLAN, Harmony Week celebrations, knockout sports, choir workshops and more. Whilst it was a busy term, it was very productive. Student learning was also a highlight with some fantastic learning taking place in classes.

Sports Day

Our Sports Day was a great success. The turnout was fantastic, and we were thrilled to see the community come together and enjoy the day in perfect weather conditions. Congratulations to the Wallabies for winning the Championship trophy and the Wombats for taking out the Attitude trophy.

A special acknowledgement to Bernie De Lyster for coordinating the day and attending to all levels of organisation, along with the sports day committee, all school staff, canteen staff and parent volunteers for their combined efforts to make the day a successful one. A mention and acknowledgement too, to Keith, our grounds person who contributed enormously to the set up for the day.

We would also like to commend all the students who participated with such positive team spirit and came dressed in their house team colours. Well done to our Sports Day House Captains for their excellent leadership over recent weeks and on the day itself. They worked collaboratively and enthusiastically to prepare and rehearse the health hustle and team chants, which provided high levels of motivation for their team members. We also appreciated the effort they put in, by arriving at school early on Friday to set up for the day.

Well done to everyone involved in making the day a success!

Parent/Teacher Interviews

Thank you to families who attended their child’s/children’s interview over the last couple of weeks. These discussions are an important part of our annual assessment and reporting practices discussing where students are with their learning and goals moving forward. If you were unable to meet with your child’s teacher for an interview, you may choose to contact them to arrange a suitable time to meet next term.
