PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Congratulations to all those

students who received awards at

last weeks assembly. There were

lots of achievements to be

celebrated. It was a pleasure to

meet Kindergarten 2012 who

were a terrific audience

throughout our assembly.

Thank you to all who supported

the Year 6 pyjama/mufti day to

raise funds for the Year 6 gift to

the school. It was fantastic to see

so many involved.

I am looking forward to

celebrating the Year 6 Farewell

on Thursday night with students,

staff and parents. It is a special

occasion for Year 6 to finish up

with a celebration of their primary

school years.

Please remember to label all

jumpers, jackets so their owners

can be found quickly and all

property is returned by the end of

the year.

Regards

Liza Duncan

Mrs Hayes

Being organised is a skill in itself. Over the holidays, try to think

ahead of things to do without being asked, and Mums and Dads, try

encouraging them to think of what they need to do and do it

themselves. Have fun!! ☺☺☺☺☺☺
