NEWSLETTER | TERM 2 | WEEK 1 | 19 APRIL 2024
Good afternoon parents and caregivers,
It was lovely to welcome back everyone to Term Two and to see all the smiling faces on Monday morning. I hope you all had a fantastic holiday and are feeling refreshed and ready for what I am sure will be another busy term!
A big welcome back to Ms Nguyen as she returns from leave and also to Mrs Celinski and Mrs Fitzgerald who are teaching Year Four while Mrs Curtis is on leave. I have spoken to Mrs Curtis and her surgery went well and she is now resting and on the road to recovery. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
Communication is an important focus for us, so please make sure that you have looked through the Term Two Parent Planner and added important dates into your own calendars. Additionally, we have had to make changes to our Professional Development Day in Term Three. Students will now commence Term Three on Wednesday July 17 and school will be operating as normal on Tuesday, August 27, 2024.
Have a wonderful weekend!
God bless
Rebecca Clarke

Groundsmen - Thank you!
I'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our gifted and dedicated groundsmen, Nate Bright and Karl Glenn, for their exceptional work over the term break. Despite the holiday period, they approached their duties with their usual professionalism and dedication. Their efforts not only included building a new boat in our nature playground but, also ensuring that our grounds remained neat and tidy for our return. We commend them for their commitment and hard work. Thank you, Nate and Karl, for your outstanding contributions.
Prayers
As a mark of respect to the victims of the tragedy in Sydney, the school has flown its flags at half-mast this week. Please keep in your prayers and thoughts all the victims and their families, and all those affected by this tragic event. May those who have passed rest in peace.
