A note from the Principal
Dear Parents,
This week in Primary has been nothing short of spectacular, with our Year 6 students delivering an unforgettable performance of Madagascar the Musical! Over four captivating shows, they showcased remarkable stage presence, confidence, acting prowess, singing talent, humour, and outstanding teamwork. After six months of dedicated preparation, their hard work culminated in a truly remarkable show.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Creative Arts team, including Charlie, Rachel, and Lisa, and especially to Ms. Lexi, whose tireless dedication, passion, and enthusiasm brought our inaugural Year 6 production to life! Bravo and congratulations to all involved!

RSE (Relationship and Sex Education) presentations for Primary Parents
Our RSE lessons will continue next week (week beginning 13/05/24) with the personal hygiene lesson.
Answering questions about sex and gender
Although sex and gender does not form a major part of our Primary RSE curriculum, students may have questions.
Our view is that genuine questions deserve a response - but the response may need thinking through first.
If a student asks a question in school, we may provide a brief response depending on age and context - or we may suggest that the question is better answered at home.
Definitions of sex and gender can be confusing, so you may find these agreed definitions and responses helpful.
Please find a screencast of the presentation. The videos referenced throughout the screencast are below.
Here are the videos referred to during the presentation:
Here are some suggestions for how to talk with your child .
