PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Welcome to the final newsletter for what I believe has been a very successful 2018.

Again, I’d like to thank all staff, parents, friends and community members for the support of our school throughout the year. Without the cooperation, the school would not function as smoothly as it does, and we certainly are living by the words of our school song:

“Students, staff, parents and friends, working as a team.”

Some excitement to finish off the week with Class parties and the P&C Colour Fun Run taking place tomorrow. Students can wear mufti clothes and will need to remember to bring a white shirt for the colour run.

The final day of school is Wednesday, 19 December for both students and staff. I wish everyone a happy and safe holiday and Christmas and look forward to seeing you all again in Term 1. Regards,

Paul Principal (Rlg)
