Great work

This semester has been like no other and I trust that

all members of our school community are looking

forward to our holiday break. Thank you for your

ongoing support and to our amazing teaching and

non-teaching staff for their unwavering dedication

and commitment to our school this semester as

always. Last day for students is Friday 3 July.

Monday 20 July is a School Development Day with

students K-6 returning Tuesday 21 July. Wishing you

all a safe and happy break. Keep safe so we can

continue to ease our restrictions at school and see

more of you in Term 3 and beyond.

Please note: On School Development Day, our front

office staff will be involved in Professional Learning.

Therefore our front office will be open for enquiries

from 9:00-10:00 and 2:00-3:00. This includes purchas-

es from our Uniform Shop.

End of term mufti day

Our SRC will be hosting an end of term celebration

in the form of a mufti day and in school disco

(students are to wear enclosed shoes, no midriff

tops). There is no cost. Canteen have a meal deal,

please see ad on page 3.

Semester 1 student reports

Student reports will be sent to families by Week 3 of

next term. As previously communicated, the report

will be a modified version of our traditional report

due to remote learning this semester. Students will

not receive an A-E grade, but will be provided with

feedback about their engagement with learning

and future learning. While our report is modified,

teachers have spent a great deal of time to ensure

you are receiving a purposeful and accurate

report for you child’s learning this semester. To

ensure these are done to our usual high standard,

we have utilised an additional two weeks of the six

weeks provided to communicate your child’s

progress this semester.

Parent Teacher meetings are scheduled next term.

Bookings can be made at:
