Dear Valentine families,

What a fantastic start to Term 4. Our staff and students have hit the ground running with Year 2 starting swim school and our Year 3’s heading off to their first overnight excursion.

Welcome Interns

We welcome our interns, Miss Wooding and Miss Bridle as they complete their final year of their teaching degree. We know they will learn so much from their supervising teachers, Mrs Gazzard and Mrs Gilbert and we wish them a wonderful internship. 

Special Congratulations

A special congratulations to Sabine who has won the Belmont 16’s Creative Canvas Art Challenge for her incredible artwork depicting something that is 'Uniquely Lake Macquarie'. Sabine has taken out the $5000 prize which she will happily help spend on our Nature Play playground 'Coco's Cove'

A special presentation will be made to her at next Friday’s assembly starting at 2:15pm in the hall. All parents are welcome.

Our 2023 Kinders are getting ready

Next week we welcome our 2023 kindergarten students to their first Orientation session. We cannot wait to see their excited little faces as they start their educative journey to big school! If you haven’t enrolled your child for 2023, please contact the office. 

P&C

We must thank our hardworking P&C who have continued their fundraising efforts behind the scenes during the holidays to raise funds towards resources for our school. Thank you to all of our families for supporting these initiatives.

The P&C Colour Run is coming up on Friday 28th October. Don’t forget to set up your child’s fundraising profile so they are in the running to help raise the most money for their class. The class that raises the most, gets to slime Mrs Saurins!

The P&C have organised a sausage sizzle so don’t forget to order online through My School Connect.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Warm regards,

Mrs Leigh Rich
