PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Michael Gray, Principal
Dear Parents, Guardians, Students, Staff and our wider School Community
It is close to impossible to describe our Third Term this year.
Students have been exceptional in their efforts to ensure they have achieved their best, to be their best self and to learn together. Staff have been present constantly. By this, I mean being able to be at each child to help guide, challenge, support, help, encourage, redirect and advise each and every time this has been needed. We are indeed a fortunate community where people value effort, right from wrong and are committed to learning. I also acknowledge the wonderful contribution parents and families have made to this productive and supportive school environment. Teams achieve; that's why our students are thriving; whether it is special events, the daily classroom or specific programs people come together for the reason of learning, faith and hope. Thank you everyone.
With our final week, I remind families about the free parent education opportunity provided by our parent association to hear Andrew Fuller. I encourage parents, guardians and those interested in the wellbeing of young people to come along to his parent session tonight at 7pm. As Andrew’s bio says; “Andrew puts the heart back into psychology”. As a clinical psychologist, Andrew Fuller works with many schools and communities in Australia and internationally, specialising in the wellbeing of young people and their families. This is a unique opportunity to hear Andrew’s thoughts and ideas about caring for young people. Our PSA sponsored the Resilience Project last year, Andrew will follow up on those themes this week with both staff and parents.
Finally, I wish all the students a great break. This is a time to relax, enjoy where we live, experience a more relaxed daily timetable. The last day of each Term will finish on Friday at 2:30 pm, this is also the same for all bus students.
