A note from the Principal
What a fantastic week it has been with our Year 4 to Year 6 residentials. These trips are always such a special part of our school calendar, and I am continually amazed by the sense of community they foster. From the meticulous planning by our staff to the teamwork, resilience, and joy displayed by our students, these experiences truly create lasting memories.
A huge thank you to everyone involved—staff, students, and parents alike—for the care, effort, and trust that make these residentials so meaningful. The laughter, learning, and shared moments will undoubtedly stay with our students for years to come.
Look forward to seeing you at the Ploenchit Fair on Saturday!

Wellbeing
Cold and Flu Guidance
Influenza is a contagious infection that affects the nose, throat, and respiratory system. Even fit and healthy children can easily catch a strain of influenza, and this should always be considered serious.
The virus is commonly spread through droplets in the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus can survive on hands and surfaces allowing infection to spread quickly.
When unsure, always seek medical advice, especially if a child has a chronic condition e.g., asthma.
If Influenza is confirmed, the parent needs to send in a copy of the medical certificate.

Students with Influenza should be kept home until they are completely recovered and no longer contagious. Once the main symptoms have gone, children may still need time at home to recuperate.
