Dance Extravaganza

Prep to year 2 students put on a wonderful dance performance for parents this week.  It was a wonderful showcase of their dance lessons for term 4 and a great fun event for our last week of school.  Thank you to our marvellous dance instructors.

Art Exhibition

Thank you to Ms Davis for helping organise the ‘Faces of New Farm’ Art Exhibition for Years 3 / 4 and 4 classes.  It is wonderful to see the different mediums used by students to express their portraits.

2022 Enrolments

On Thursday 09 December students will meet their 2022 teacher and find out their classes.  They will receive a teacher postcard and will take that home to share with parents.

Prep students will receive their teacher postcards via email in December and will have the opportunity to meet their teachers on Friday 21 January when we hold an Open Classroom Session (8.00 – 8.45 a.m.)  All students and families are welcome for this visit and many find it useful in settling anxieties about the New Year and for delivering their book packs before day 1.
