A note from the Principal

Note from the Principal 09- 05 – 2025 What a showstopper! This week, our talented Year 6 students lit up the stage with their spectacular production of Aladdin. With two dress rehearsals and two outstanding performances for parents, they wowed us all with their energy, singing, dancing, and stage presence. These moments showcase more than talent — they build lifelong skills in communication, confidence, and creativity. Huge thanks to the team behind the scenes and our brilliant students for such a magical experience. A proud week to be Principal! Sarah McCormack

Well Being

RSE Learning - Single Sex lesson

This week, we explored the physical and biological changes that happen during puberty. Your child may come home with questions or thoughts they'd like to share. To help guide these conversations, you might find the resource below useful. If your child prefers, they’re also welcome to use the Question Box at school to ask anything they’re curious about.

Next week, students will learn about personal hygiene.

Birthdays

Parents should not bring in class gifts, balloons, bubbles, whistles, games, drinks etc. Your child's class teacher will politely ask you to take these home with you. We enjoy celebrating birthdays by sharing a birthday treat such as donuts or cakes.

We are a NUT FREE school. Please when ordering birthday treats double check before bringing treats on the campus. 

Many toppings offered by some donut shops have flaked almonds in their toppings and peanut butter fillings. If you bring these in, unfortunately, we will have to send them home

Birthday Treats

• Children may bring in a special treat to share with the class.
• Please contact the class teacher to arrange a suitable time. In Year 4, you can do this on Monday or Wednesday as we have Spelling lessons on other days. 
• Brownies, cupcakes, small donuts, and cake slices are easier for your child to give out.
• We do not give out drinks (e.g., bubble tea, sodas)
• Please reduce plastic packaging.
• We do not allow party bags or other gifts to be given out at school, either for birthdays, or other celebrations.
