Across the Desk from the Principal, Patrick Sullivan

 Dear Parents, Guardians, Students and Staff,

As we end another term, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you for your hard work, dedication and support throughout these past weeks. It has been a term filled with great learning, achievements and community spirit.

To our students, thank you for your enthusiasm and commitment to your education. Your curiosity and determination inspires us every day.

To our teachers, thank you for your unwavering dedication to providing our students with the best possible learning experiences. Your passion and expertise are truly valued.

A special shoutout to our amazing support staff for their behind-the-scenes efforts to keep our school running smoothly. Your contributions are invaluable.

And to our parents and carers, thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in your child's education journey. Your involvement makes a significant difference in our school community.

I am thrilled to announce that the hall roof is now complete, marking another milestone in our ongoing infrastructure projects. Work will commence on D-Block in Week 2 of next term, ensuring our facilities continue to meet the needs of our students and staff.

I am also delighted to congratulate Akira Kanno for his outstanding achievement at the state championships, where he placed 7th in the 50m freestyle event. Akira's dedication and skill are truly commendable, and I couldn't be prouder. Well, done, Akira!

A big round of applause to everyone who participated in the Primary Cross Country. It was a beautiful day filled with camaraderie and sportsmanship. I extend my gratitude to Mrs Lowe for her exceptional organisation and to all of the high school helpers and parent volunteers who made the event possible.

Remember the ANZAC Day march on Thursday, April 25th. I encourage as many students as possible to participate in this important commemoration.

As we head into the holiday break, I hope you all have a wonderful and restful time with family and friends. I look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday 30 April, refreshed and ready for another term of learning and growth.

Once again, thank you to each and every one of you for your contributions to our school community. We truly appreciate your efforts.


Warm regards,
