Welcome back to school everyone, Term 4 is going to be packed full of exciting opportunities for our students.  As we race towards the end of the school year, I am thrilled at the learning that has been accessed in every class from the first minute of school on Monday.  In the coming weeks students will be accessing a variety of excursions and extra curricula activities, positive ways to engage children in their learning.

Please don’t forget that you can always make contact with me or your child’s teacher to discuss their progress.  I look forward to working with you all throughout Term 4.

On Tuesday 24^th September, our school held its official opening of our 2019 Art Exhibition The Colour of Happy. It was a wonderful opportunity for our school community to celebrate the artistic achievements of our students. On this occasion we also made the dedication of the Performing Arts Room in honour of Cheryl Kingston our past principal. It was lovely to have Cheryl’s family and friends join us on this occasion to celebrate her work and commitment to our school in the last 14 years. Thank you to all who came and visited our exhibition during the last week of term and on the Saturday. Comments from Department of Education Representatives, parents and community members were very positive. All were appreciative of the efforts of both students and staff in presenting this fabulous exhibition.

Well done to all the children that participated in the cross country last term in Week 9. A great show of tenacity and resilience with their efforts. Thank you to all the parents and relatives that could make it along to support the children, your effort was appreciated by all. Congratulations to our placegetters:
