Term 2 is now in full swing with a range of activities already happening.

Do you have a child or know of a local child who will entering Kindergarten in 2026? We are taking enrolments now! Please see the poster underneath my 'Principal's message' in this newsletter.

PSSA Winter Sport commenced and I was fortunate enough to get out to watch the Football / Soccer teams go through their paces. I continue to be amazed by the behaviour of our students when they represent the school. You played with great skill and sportsmanship. Well done!

Last week our Stage 1 students visited the Field of Mars to complement work done in class on water environments. Although a wet and muddy day, all students enjoyed the experience.

Next week, our Stage 2 students will head to Field of Mars on Monday 26th May for their excursion.

Yesterday, members of our bands participated in a band workshop next door at St John's Anglican Church. Supported by a number of tutors and conductors, they worked hard all day, playing their hearts and practising and performing new material. Well done to all of you. Thank you to our parent helpers who attended the day. Special thanks to Imelda Crimmins and Karen Ross for organising the day and to the tutors who worked so hard. Please read the article on our Band Workshop contained in this newsletter.

Our P&C and helpers were out in force on Wednesday 7th May to sell some wonderful Mothers' Day gifts at the Mothers' Day Stall. The students excitedly came up to the hall to choose their gifts in a sensible and orderly way. My deepest thanks goes to Liz Vrontamitis and her team of helpers who worked like trojans during the morning.

The P&C continue the momentum by organising a Parent Trivia Night on Saturday 21st June. Please see the Events and Fundraising section of this newsletter for further details. It promises to be a wonderful evening! There's even the possibility of a Teacher's table for the Trivia Night and we look forward to the battle!

For further events, please check our Term 2 Parent Calendar contained in this newsletter.

On a personal note, I will be taking a period of leave from Term 2 Week 6 (Monday 2nd June) to Term 2 Week 10 (Friday 4th July) for family reasons. I will return in Term 3 commencing Monday 21st July. Mrs Erin Taggart will be our relieving Principal during this time and Miss McQueen will teach class 3/4T.
