Principals Report

    Dear Parents and Carers,

    Welcome Back!

    I hope everyone enjoyed the change of pace over the school holidays. I certainly did, spending precious time with family and friends who visited me at the coast. A big thank you to all the teachers for their planning and preparation during the break to ensure a smooth and successful start to Term 3. It was wonderful to see the smiling faces of our students returning to school, they have already made me feel very special and supported in my role as Acting Principal this term.

    Breaking of the Ground – Infants Playground

    Last Friday we held the official Breaking of the Ground Ceremony for our new Infants Playground. We were delighted to welcome representatives from our major sponsors: Nick Fry, Richard Elliot, Susi Pluess and Anjali Williams from Community Bank Braidwood and Jayne Barden from Veolia Mulwaree Trust. We are incredibly grateful for their generous $45,000 contributions to help bring this project to life.

    Construction is expected to begin very soon—and our students couldn’t be more excited!

    “I’m excited because everyone will have so much fun!” - Hudson, Kinder

    “It will mean friends can play together.” - Jude, Kinder

    “We will play new games with our friends on the small monkey bars.” - Zita, Yr 1

    “I’m excited to see the new equipment and play on it!” - Rudy, Yr 1

    “Thank you for building the playground. It must have been lots of hard work.” - Charlie Yr 2

    “I love how you put all your work into building this playground for us!” - Holly, Yr 2

    “Thank you for the new playground. I’m so excited!” - Lachie, Yr 2

    Hats Back On!

    This Friday marks the start of August, which means it is time for hats to return! As part of our SunSmart practices, students are now required to wear hats during all outdoor activities. Please ensure hats are clearly labelled with your child’s name to help with returning lost property.

    New Roof Update

    During the holidays, a brand new roof was installed over the Year 4–6 building and this weekend the rooftop crosses will be freshly painted. A big thank you to Catholic Education for funding this project—no more buckets during wet weather!
