Pupil Free Day – Friday 05 September

A reminder to parents that this Friday is a state-wide pupil free day. Students do not attend school on this day as no staff will be on site for supervision.

World Teacher Aide’s Day - Friday 05 September

This week we celebrated the professional team of Education Support Officers (previously known as Teachers Aides) who work in our school supporting our students and teachers. Thanks to these hard-working dedicated staff members we can provide valuable programs and adjustments for students needing additional support, care and extensions. Our teacher aides are caring, dedicated and always strive to do deliver high quality programs for our students. They are a valued part of our school team, and we hope they enjoyed all their special treats this week.

2026 Student Leadership Selection Process

In the last week of term 3 I will provide details on our 2026 Student Leadership Selection process which involves our Year 5s applying for various leadership roles for next year. The students who are interested in becoming a Leader (e.g. School Captain, House Captain or Project Captain) will nominate this term and then speeches, voting and interviews are conducted in term 4. It is an exciting time coming up for our Year 5s. More information to come.
