Principal's News
Dear mums, dads, carers and colleagues
This past week has been shorter than usual given today's public holiday for the Gold Coast Show - but it was still crammed with learning and activities for our children to make the most of.
Eisteddfod
Congratulations to our Mezzo Strings ensemble on their success at the Gold Coast Eisteddfod this week coming back to school with a Silver Award. For many in the ensemble, this was their first major public performance.
Inter-school sport
The first day of inter-school sport was conducted on Thursday. Each of the previous four days had been washed out in what has been a VERY wet year so far. I was delighted to see the focus of the students as they departed by bus. Their pride and sense of privilege to represent the school was visible.
We way we played reflected spirit and respect as well as our sporting motto of fun - fitness - friendship. Respect at school sport means to:
- Encourage team mates
- Put our team first
- Celebrate our team and never make fun of mistakes made by the opposition
- Follow every decision of the referee or umpire
Wakakirri success
Congratulations to our Wakakirri troupe on their selection to perform at the State level performances on Tuesday night (9 September). This success means that we have bumped the P&C meeting back another week. I am sure the night will once again be filled with nerves and excitement.
Student-free day reminder
Just a reminder that Friday 5 September is gazetted by the Department of Education as a student free day. Children do not attend school on this day.
Kind regards
Vic
