PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Book Week

What a wonderful celebration of reading and imagination we enjoyed this week with our Book Week Parade. The theme for this year's Book Week is 'Book an Adventure'. The joy on the children’s faces as they proudly paraded in their costumes was heart-warming. From classic storybook heroes to characters from more recent favourites, the creativity and effort that families put into the costumes was truly impressive. Book Week is always a special reminder of the power of stories to inspire, teach, and bring us together as a community of learners. I thank our staff and in particular Mrs Plataniotis and Mrs Carey for organising such a vibrant event, and our families for supporting the love of reading at home.

Father's Day

Looking ahead, we are excited to be celebrating Father’s Day with our Before School Sports and Activity Morning (with coffee!) This will be a great opportunity for students to enjoy some fun activities alongside their dads, grandfathers, or other special father-figures. We look forward to seeing the playground filled with energy, laughter, and connection as we celebrate the important role that fathers and father-figures play in the lives of our children. A reminder to join us next Friday morning from 7:45 am for coffee and a muffin. The P&F are again generously conducting a Father's Day stall for students to purchase a gift for their Dads.

As always, I thank you for your ongoing support and encouragement of your children’s learning and wellbeing. Our school continues to thrive because of the strong partnership between home, school, and parish.

Kindest regards,

Mr Mitchell Elks
