As we approach the end of the school year, it’s been a busy and exciting time at our school, with many activities and preparations for 2025.

As I write this, I am currently undertaking School Review Professional Development in order to ensure that we continue to grow and improve as educators. This will support me in enacting comprehensive school reviews and deep dive into the 9 domains of the School Improvement Tool. This in turn will help shape our goals and strategies moving forward with a student first focus.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in and supported our Colour Fun Run! It was a fun day incorporating our whole-school community. Thank you to our parents/carers that joined us and all the families who assisted with fundraising for our school. We fundraised a grand total of $2,760.99 and all prizes have now been sent home or collected.

With 2024 drawing to a close, preparations for 2025 are already underway. Our school has been busy creating class lists, finalising staffing arrangements, and organising rosters to ensure a smooth start to the new year. Additionally, student handovers will take place this week at our Tuesday staff meeting.

Over the past few weeks our teachers have been finalising assessments and report writing. It has been fantastic to read the growth of all of our students and celebrate in their learning.

As we near the end of the term, we’re preparing for some fun and engaging alternate activities in Week 11. It’s a great way for our students to unwind and celebrate their achievements before the holidays begin.

Finally, I would like to wish all of our students, staff, and families a well-deserved, restful holiday. Enjoy the break, recharge, and we look forward to welcoming you all back in 2025!
