Sincere apologies for the delay in this fortnight’s communication – a week late and it is on me! The busyness of Term 4 is well upon us and the staff and students have shown courage, growth and aspiration in these busy times. Over the past fortnight students have represented the school in various activities from SPSSA Swimming to the Remembrance Day Service and I would like to thank all students for showing our Department values of respect and courage during these opportunities.

This week I have enjoyed meeting our 2023 Kinder families and conducting Pre-Kinder interviews to meet with our new students.  They have been very brave!

This past fortnight has seen many of our teaching staff attend various Professional Learning opportunities from Trauma Informed Practice, to leading change towards improved reading outcomes for ALL students with Misty Adoniou to increasing popular Family Partnerships Model (FPM) and I look forward to sharing and practising this new knowledge and skills with you and your children over the coming weeks.

I look forward to welcoming all of our Grandparents, Special visitors and Volunteers to our Week 6 Assembly on Friday 25^th November from 9am followed by a shared Devonshire Tea.
