Dear Families,

The end of 2020 has once again seen us challenged with another COVID-19 threat. Thank you for responding with haste and clarity and regularly checking school correspondence to follow guidelines.

Last week we met our transitioning receptions and families, welcoming them to our school community. It was great to see so many eager and excited children looking forward to their new school journey. There will be two more reception transitions which will be carried out in accordance with Department COVID guidelines. Our Yr 7 students (and some of our Yr 6's) have also been busy engaging in transition visits and opportunities ready for their move to high school next year. 

Staff are well into the process of finalising classes for 2021. Our aim is always to build academically balanced classes that consider the needs of students, including friendships. On Wednesday morning, 9th December all students will spend some time in their 2021 classroom. School reports will also be sent home on this day.

In a year like no other we appreciate your ongoing understanding when events have been canceled due to restrictions. Staff have done their best to provide students with as many opportunities as possible, some of which are showcased in this newsletter. Whilst we will miss Celebration Night, we are looking forward to hosting a special assembly on the last day of school to farewell students and staff who are leaving our community. We will be live streaming this Assembly to share with you.
