It was great to see such an enthusiastic return to school on Tuesday after a lovely holiday break. Students have positively settled back into class routines and are eager to face the term ahead.

Our sports day was a huge success and we would like to thank all staff and families for helping to make this day positive for all. A very big thank you to Bernie DeLyster and the sports committee, including the House captains, for working hard to make this event happen. Thanks again also to the fantastic parents who cooked the BBQ and helped in the canteen. 

This term we will have many students involved in extra curricular activities such as Pedal Prix, Sapsasa knockout and district sport, cross country and festival choir. Please contact the school if you require any information about events in the school to receive accurate information. This term our senior students will begin working in student action groups to identify projects within our community that make a difference to our school. Action groups will meet every Friday to do this work. 

We are so lucky to have a beautiful school environment to learn within. Our school is looking well maintained and several projects occured over the holidays to further enhance our grounds. Keith is continuing his work in the JP play area developing drainage and a new garden bed area. We now have two outdoor table tennis tables with more outdoor seating to come soon. The verandah area outside of the hall has been extended providing more undercover play space for students.

We would like to say thank you to Martine Gregory for her work at our school and wish her all the very best for the future. We welcome Jayme Mansell who will provide classroom SSO support and individual student support for our Yr 3 team.

I would like to thank the following students who proudly represented our school at the ANZAC day dawn service last Sunday; Tayla H, Sonny N, Abigail OD, Hannah S and Claire R. 

This term we will be having a pupil free day on Friday June 18th so that staff can undertake training for our upcoming International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme evaluation. Kate O'Driscoll, our PYP coordinator, has organised for staff to be trained in one of the following areas; 'making space for learning' and 'diversity and inclusion'.
