2023 Prep Enrolments

Thank you to all families who have now completed their prep ’23 enrolment applications.  On completion of the final 2 Fridays of interviews this term we will have 75 new students enrolled.  I anticipate approximately 90 students enrolments by the end of term 4 2022.

Pick up and Drop Off

Just a reminder of a couple of things that could be improved and would really help things run even better:

1. Vehicles cannot turn right onto James Street during the peak hours of drop off and pick up. When drivers try to do this, it really causes a lot of congestion as cars are not moving.  Please only turn LEFT out of Heal Street. 
   Clearly display your child/ren’s name on the windscreen visor. Unfortunately, there are a number of makeshift name signs on dashboards and others without name tags which makes the job of staff more difficult. 

End Of Term – Finish Strong

As we head toward the end of a term, it is important to continue our focus and maintain routines so that students know that it is ‘business as usual’.  Maintaining routines helps support a positive and safe learning environment for all students. 

R U OK? DAY | 8 SEPTEMBER 
R U OK? Day is an opportunity to connect with people and have conversations that can help others through difficult times in their lives. If you have a feeling that someone you know or care about is behaving a little differently, perhaps now is the time to ask them: "R U OK?"  The website has a great deal of classroom support material and staff wellbeing ideas.

2023 Year 6 Student Leadership Selection Process

In term 4 I will send out a full suite of information on the timelines and procedures for the selection process.  Year 5 students will have a couple of weeks in the beginning of term 4 to prepare their nominations before speeches begin. 

First Day of Term 4 is Tuesday 04 October.  Monday 03 October is a public holiday and the school will be closed on this day.
