Dear Parents and Carers,

Term 4 is off to a wonderful start, with students diving straight back into their learning, making the most of their final term for the 2024 school year. It has been fantastic to see such engaging learning taking place in every class, and the growth our students have shown since the start of the year is truly remarkable. A huge thank you to our dedicated teachers and teacher aides for their hard work, and to our parents for their continued involvement in supporting their children's education.

This term, we have had the pleasure of hosting Gubbi Gubbi language workshops for both Primary and Secondary students, where they had the opportunity to learn language related to family members. Additionally, our Early Years students participated in a special Gubbi Gubbi day, which included hands-on sensory experiences and storytelling. This focus on cultural immersion provided a meaningful and enriching experience for all students, deepening their connection to the local Gubbi Gubbi heritage.

Our physical education program is also in full swing. Swimming lessons have commenced for our Early Years and Primary students, while Secondary and Senior students have been enjoying basketball sessions with Coach Tim. Physical activity remains a vital part of our curriculum, aligned with Version 9 of the Australian Curriculum, and plays an essential role in promoting students’ physical development and well-being.

This term also saw our staff participate in Professional Learning Week, where teachers and teacher aides had the opportunity to observe and learn from their colleagues. This has been an invaluable experience, allowing staff to share their expertise and develop new skills in areas of personal interest, further enhancing the teaching and learning environment at our school.

As we approach the halfway mark of the term, we are looking forward to the exciting activities and events planned for the coming weeks. Thank you for your ongoing support, and we look forward to a successful and rewarding conclusion to the school year.

Warm regards,

Kate
