Dear Families,

Welcome back to Term 2! It’s wonderful to see everyone back, refreshed and ready for the exciting weeks ahead. We hope you had a blessed Easter break, enjoyed some well-deserved rest, and spent quality time with your loved ones. Easter is a time of renewal and hope, reminding us of the profound message of love, sacrifice, and new beginnings. As we embark on this new term, let’s carry forward the spirit of Easter—embracing kindness (our virtue for Term 2), faith, and togetherness in all we do.

ANZAC Day Ceremony

On Tuesday, we gathered as a school community to commemorate ANZAC Day, honouring the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who have served our country. Our students demonstrated great respect during the ceremony, reflecting on the importance of remembrance and gratitude. It was heartwarming to see their understanding of this significant day, ensuring that the legacy of the ANZACS lives on in future generations.

We are thrilled to announce our upcoming School Disco for all students from Kindergarten to Year 6, happening on Friday, 30 May, from 6:00 to 7:30pm.
