Thank you for your donations for SMILE day. All the Y3 classes had a lovely time with their Y6 buddy classes. A real community event!

A note from the Principal

We have had a fantastic week in Primary, filled with many wonderful events. Highlights included a brilliant parent workshop on fine motor skills, the joy of Smile Day, World Book Day celebrations, and an exquisite showcase of creativity at An Evening with the Primary Arts.

Everyone is eagerly looking forward to Fun Day on Saturday, with huge thanks in advance to our amazing PTG and all those involved in making it such a special event. Next week brings even more excitement and fun with the Year 3 Residential. I am already packing my swimmers and sunhat, as I will be joining them on Monday.

Dear Parents,

During Term 2B, we introduce age-appropriate RSE units as part of our Personal, Social and Health Education curriculum in Years 1 to 6. These units help children to develop an understanding of their own physical, social and emotional development, and encompass key values such as respect, kindness and consent.

If you would like to hear more about how and what we teach your child, please join us at a parent presentation. Please sign up via the links below.
