Dear mums, dads, carers and colleagues

Congratulations to everyone for what has been a wonderful school year.  Our successes in the arts, on the sporting field, in the classroom and in public speaking have been extremely impressive once again.  However, my most satisfying success this year is the empathy that our children are displaying for other people and the environment.  I think the recent Global Innovators Trade Show & Pitch Event for Year 5 students was an incredible event that showcased student passions and design solutions for the global goals. This is some of the most powerful learning I have ever seen as an educator.  

Good health and well-being for everyone

Vaccinations

By the time school resumes in 2022, all staff and volunteers at the school will need to be fully vaccinated.  This will mean that our staff team from this year will look slightly different in 2022.  And what makes the changes more complicated its late timing.  I believe that we will have our staff team in place for next year but should this change, please know that we are responding as fast as possible.

Students do not need to be vaccinated.  

All the information that I have received from the department indicates that no student is required to be vaccinated to attend their school.  This applies to all students at primary and secondary schools, public or independent.  

If this was to change, I would let families know immediately, but I am not at all anticipating this to ever happen.

Mrs Gatti says thank you

Thank you to the family who loaned Mrs Gatti an umbrella on Wednesday afternoon.  She was VERY appreciative.  She has left the umbrella in the office to give it back to you.

Student leaders

Than you sincerely to the 2021 student leaders, Maia, Si'u and Angel-Rose.  They have led the student body with care and responsibility all year.  And on Thursday, they handed their roles onto the 2022 student leaders.

Congratulations to:

• Head of School - Annabelle Nichol
• Head of School - Lucas Ikenasio
• Head of Student Council - Ashley Mears

Merry Christmas

I hope that everyone in our community is able to have a wonderful Christmas and new year period.  I am excited about the 2022 school year ahead.

Kind regards

Vic
