Welcome Back to Term 2 2025
Welcome back to Term 2! I hope everyone had a fantastic break and enjoyed some well-deserved rest. This term is shaping up to be another exciting one, packed with enriching learning experiences for all students.
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to all the parents who attended the parent-teacher conferences and classroom showcase last term. It was heartwarming to see so many students engaged in meaningful conversations with their parents and teachers about their learning. By participating in these conferences, students, parents, and teachers can work together to develop shared goals and celebrate their achievements.
I am looking forward to seeing all the great things our students will accomplish this term.

Pupil Free Day - Friday Week 2
A reminder that Friday, May 2nd, is a Pupil-Free Day. On this day, teachers will participate in important Professional Development to learn more about the changes to the Australian Curriculum (Version 9). The sessions will focus on building teacher knowledge and skills in teaching maths, planning lessons in a clear sequence, and ensuring assessments are fair and consistent. This learning helps us continue to provide high-quality and engaging maths lessons for all students.
