Dear Parents, Guardians & Carers,

We have been welcoming our 2023 Foundation students to our Orientation sessions over the past few weeks, and it has been delightful to see the smiling faces walk through the gate each time. They have been kept busy with a mix of indoor and outdoor activities over the past 3 visits. We look forward to welcoming their parents on Monday 5th December as well to meet the teachers, information and pizza night. All students will move to their 2023 learning space on Tuesday 6th December to meet their new teacher and classmates.

Grandparents Day

Last week we welcomed over 400 grandparents to our school during the morning. It was pleasing to see the smiles on the students' and grandparents' faces as they proudly completed activities together in their classrooms and they showed them to their siblings' classrooms.  It felt so good to have people back in the school again.

Colour Run

What a fun day we had on Friday afternoon at our Inaugural Colour Run.  Once again we had many parents onsite to view the fun.  We even heard the words “This is my best day of school ever.”  A massive thank you to our P&F team who organised the day.  We would also like to say thank you to the following businesses who donated prizes: Aygee Gippsland, Gumbuya World & Cafe Eviva.

We are very excited to be able to move into our new building as of Monday 5th December.  You will have received an email which will provide you with all of the information that you need to know regarding our temporary administration area etc.

Kind regards,

Michelle Charlton
