Dear Parent/Caregivers,

Welcome back to the 2025 school year.

Hopefully everyone has had a great summer break.

We are extremely pleased with how everyone has settled into the 2025 school year. Well done to our new receptions who have had an amazing week.

We also welcome a number of newly enrolled students.

On Tuesday morning we held a short assembly where we introduced new staff members and welcomed back others.

This year we welcome Maddi Neilson who is working as an SSO in our Inclusive Education class.

Emily Newcombe has joined us as our Performing Arts teacher and we welcome back Linda Ward who has returned as a Reception teacher in room 10.

Building Upgrades

It’s exciting to see the upgrade to building 3 has well and truly started. A lot of the demolition has been completed, however there is still some work to be done to prepare for the new lift.

Obviously there are some inconveniences with building access and ongoing works. We will continue to work with the builders to minimise the disruption.

All access for rooms 13, 14, 15 and 16 will be through the Eastern entrance to building 3.

The year 6 students are currently in the Library and can enter via the canteen stairs.

We expect the building works to be completed by the end of Term 2.
