Student Success:
What an amazing term we have had! It is wonderful to be back to a full program of events and special days after two and a half very long years of restrictions. Congratulations to all students for the successes they have had in the classroom, playground and sporting field. All students should be very proud of their achievements and growth over the term.
Happy Holidays:
This Friday is our last day of Term 3. Students return to school on Monday 10th October. We wish our whole community a happy, safe holiday break.
Public Holiday:
A reminder that this Thursday has been declared a National Day of Mourning for the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Our school will be closed for the day.
New Assistant Principal:
I would like to welcome Ms Georgina Ward to our staff. Ms Ward will begin with us at the beginning of next term as the Assistant Principal for our support unit. Ms Ward comes to us with a wealth of knowledge and experience working with support students. She will be teaching Tingko class for Term 4 with Mrs Dechnicz and Mr Sanderson teaching Waaling class.
Temporary Staff Changes:
Mrs Hoscher will be on leave for the first three weeks of next term. We welcome Mrs Pederson who will be working with 2H during that time. Mr Lowe will also be on leave for the first three weeks of next term. We welcome Mr Haines who will be working with 5/6I during that time.
Check In Assessments:
The check in assessments for Year 6 will be held this week. Students will complete a numeracy, literacy and writing assessment in the coming days. These assessments provide valuable information to the school on how students are progressing with their learning.
Enrolments 2023:
We are currently taking enrolments for 2023. If you know of anyone who is wanting to enrol in our school, please ask them to visit our school office to begin the process. We also will have a small number of out of zone places available for the beginning of the year. Please ask any prospective families to visit our school to find out more information.
MADD Night:
We are looking forward to our MADD (Music, Art, Dance, Drama) Night which is coming up on Tuesday 18 October (Week 2) next term! This twilight event will showcase all the talented students in our school. A timetable of events and detailed information will be sent out in the coming days.
Excursions:
We wish our Stage 3 students and teachers well as they head off to Bathurst and Dubbo in the first week of next term! We are sure they will have a great time. Click here for latest update on Bathurst excursion. Congratulations to Stage 2 students who attended the Great Aussie Bush Camp last week. The students had an adventurous time with the giant swing nominated as the favourite activity. We commend them for their great behaviour and being excellent ambassadors for our school. Year 2 have been enjoying swim school over the past week. Swim school concludes on Friday and from all reports, their swimming skills have improved immensely. Well done, Year 2!
