Principal's Report

Dear Parents and Carers,

World Teachers’ Day

World Teachers’ Day is celebrated in Australia this Friday, 28 October. We’re so fortunate to have such amazing educators in our school who inspire, support and guide our students every day. Thank you to each of our brilliant teachers for everything you do for our students and families.

Slime Run

Our staff, students and parent volunteers had an amazing time getting slimy during last Friday’s Slime Run.

Thank you to all our students who raised funds. Congratulations to Year 1 who, as a reward for raising the most money in the school, were given the pleasure of sliming the Principal… they certainly made the most if it! Congratulations to Fairley who raised an amazing $575 which was the highest amount for any individual student.

Finally, thank you to our hard working P&C for delivering such a fun-filled event.
