Principal Message

Giinagay!

What a busy term we have had! I always feel so blessed when I walk into the school gates of our beautiful little school. Our students show such resilience and determination, and our staff show so much care and dedication.

When I reflect on the events of this term, I can see so many positive changes for our school such as the establishment of the Farm, the beautiful Yarning Circle, and the final touches on our new playground. I can also see the work of Lyn Sharatt alive in each classroom with students and teachers discussing learning intentions, success criteria, and their learning goals. Our students are so engaged in their learning and it is such a joy to see.

As always, our students have proudly represented us when out in community. Touch Football was a success this week, and some of our students from Years 3-6 will be representing our school in NRL next Wednesday. Our Cultural Camp this Thursday and Friday displayed how connected to country our students are, and how important it is to be out in nature. Staff and students were so excited to share their recounts and stories from camp.

We have been so blessed to welcome so many lovely new students to our school this term, and today three of our future kindergarten students began their transition to school. They will visit us four more times throughout the rest of the year and we look forward to welcoming them back next week.

During the holidays, staff and students from Kincoppal- Rosebay school of the Sacred Heart in Sydney, and staff and volunteers from our school and community will be running a school holiday program for our students here at school. This will be operating from Monday the 25 th of September until Thursday the 28 th of September. Students can arrive at school from 8:30am and be collected at 3pm on those days. There is no cost for this program and some of the activities included are cupcake decorating, making lava lamps, and visiting the Big Banana. We would love to see as many students there as possible! We thank Kincoppal for their time and organisation into putting this wonderful experience together.

We hope that everyone has a safe and happy holiday and we look forward to seeing our students back at school on Tuesday the 10 th of October.
