Disabled Car Parking
I’d like to remind all families of our designated disabled car parking spaces located near Gate 4. These spaces are reserved for members of our school community who require accessible parking and hold the appropriate permits. Please show kindness and respect by keeping these spaces available for those who genuinely need them.
NAIDOC Week 2025
During the first week of the school holidays, NAIDOC celebrations will take place from July 6 –13 and this year marks a big milestone: 50 years of NAIDOC! The 2025 theme, “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy,” is all about celebrating the rich history and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, while also looking ahead to a strong and proud future. It’s a special time for everyone to come together, reflect, and celebrate. As a school, we’ll be celebrating NAIDOC Week early due to the upcoming holidays.
Items on the School Roof
In the past, retrieving things from the school roof was fairly straightforward - we had a ladder and could easily access classroom roofs. However, with stricter OH&S requirements it’s no longer that simple and we now have to hire an external agent. We understand it can be disappointing when personal items end up on the roof and can’t be retrieved straight away.
The best way to avoid this situation is simple: please don’t bring anything to school that may cause upset if it accidentally ends up on the roof. Thanks for your understanding!
Mid-Year Reports
Student reports provide a clear snapshot of each child’s progress and achievement at this point in the year. Teachers use a variety of assessments and observations to map learning against achievement standards, placing each student on the learning continuum that best reflects their individual progress.
Please remember, every student moves along the learning continuum at their own pace and from their own starting point. We encourage families to celebrate their child’s successes and acknowledge the effort they’ve put in.
Reports will be sent home next week. Parent-Teacher Interviews will be held Thursday afternoon and Friday, please return your booking form ASAP.
End of Term Dismissal
Next Thursday, July 3 will be the final school day for students this term, with dismissal at 3.00pm. Friday, July 4 is a student-free day to allow time for Parent-Teacher Interviews. Term 3 will begin on Monday, July 21.
Simone Richardson, Principal.
