2021 Prep Enrolments – Now Enrolling 

Our 2021 prep enrolment numbers are increasing steadily with 90 now enrolled, allowing us to form 4 classes. 

 

Key dates coming up this term include:

  • Prep Student Classroom Visit Tuesday 17 November
  • Playdates

 2021 School Captain Selections

This week students in Year 5 have been given 3 information handouts about the 2021 Student Leader process, timeline and role descriptions (see attached) and a nomination form (see attached). 

 

I encourage parents and teachers to help students who are interested in applying for a leadership role.  I also urge you to prepare students for the fact that not everyone can gain a position and sometimes this is challenging to handle.  However, these experiences help build an understanding of the application process and of developing resilience. Please refer to Ms Bradley’s section for more research on Resilience and Adversity.

 

Book Week

Congratulations to all the staff and students who got into the spirit of today’s dress up for Book Week.  After a year with less than usual extra curricular events and activities, today was a fun filled and uplifting celebration for the whole school.  Enjoy the photos.  Thank you especially to Mrs Lamb and Ms Chambers for coordinating and inspiring the event and love of books.
