WHAT A NIGHT! - AND WHAT A WEEK!

Only artists can envision something as inspiring as Arts Week and dream up an event as spectacular as Illuminate Night. But turning that vision into reality requires more than imagination—it takes dedication, collaboration, and an extraordinary amount of hard work.

The Arts team has not only brought that vision to life but also showcased the very best of our school to the wider community.

We are sincerely grateful for the many weekends, evenings, and holiday hours that have gone into this project. I would like to publicly acknowledge and thank Kath, Michelle, Cara, and Caitlyn for their generosity, creativity, teamwork, and unwavering commitment.

A special thank you to Kath, who led the team with great care and took on the significant task of coordinating both the week and Wednesday night’s event.

Congratulations to you all on an outstanding achievement.

Thank you to all staff who contributed their time and effort in the lead-up to Arts Week, throughout the week itself, and on Wednesday night. We are mindful of the many demands on your time and truly appreciate your generosity and support.

A special thanks to Tom Wormald for his time, skill, and flexibility.

We’d also like to acknowledge Cathy, Kellie, and Alecia—whose behind-the-scenes work often goes unnoticed but is absolutely vital. Whether it’s adjusting plans, managing communications, coordinating logistics, collecting resources, or handling payments, they do it all. This week, with Father’s Day, Arts Week, two camps in preparation, and the major raffle, the load was immense. Yet, as always, they ensured things ran smoothly, everyone felt supported, and no detail was overlooked.

Father’s Day

Thanks to everyone who supported the gala event of Fathers Day Breakfast and again to Cathy for generating the raffle which has been another huge success.  

GOOD LUCK  to our Year 5 and Year 6 teams who head off on camp this week. I hope that you that the weather is kind, the kids are appreciative and that you get some sleep. 

Enjoy and Stay Safe!
