Newsletter Term 4   Week 10   S4 & S5

Dear Parents & Carers,

What a fun-filled term 4 we have had.  With our year 10’s finishing at the end of week 8, the remaining students in S4, have joined with the remaining students in S5.  It’s been lovely to see the students coping well with the change and increasing their friendship networks.  Basketball has been a standout activity throughout the semester. Students have shown remarkable growth in their confidence and skills, particularly in using regulation-sized basketballs, which are hard and heavy making them quite daunting to catch. Despite this challenge, many students have excelled, embracing the opportunity to perform drills with their peers and engage in games with increased ability and enthusiasm.  Our swimming carnival was a highlight of the semester. It went smoothly, and it was inspiring to see our students, now mature young adults, giving their best, following rules, staying safe, and being respectful of others. This positive attitude contributed to making the day enjoyable for all involved. The Colour Fun Run was also a huge success.  A special thank you to all those who generously donated money to the school—your support is greatly appreciated.  Alongside this, our Reward Day at the bowling alley was a huge success! It was a wonderful day of fun and celebration, and everyone—students and staff alike—had a fantastic time. As the school year comes to a close, we want to wish all our families a safe and peaceful summer break. We look forward to seeing our students return refreshed and ready to tackle another year of learning. Best wishes to all for a successful 2025, and we can’t wait to continue supporting each student’s growth in the coming year. Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community!

Andy, Chrissie & Michelle
