Term 2

Dear mums, dads, carers and colleagues

The school year drew to a close today.  It was very busy as we prepared for vacation, tidying the school and classrooms for vacation, and organising for our new classroom furniture to be delivered next week.  The new desks and chairs will be ready to go for the start of 2025.

2024 data successes

Report cards were emailed home yesterday and I was delighted with the overall efforts that our young learners have been making each day at school.  Below is a visual snapshot of the levels of achievement from Semester 2 student report cards.  We are already aiming to build on these results in 2025.

Graduation Assembly

Congratulations to our Year 6 students as they head off to high school.  There was both excitement and sadness simultaneously shown on their faces this afternoon as they left primary school for the final time.  The cohort has been wonderful and has achieved some amazing outcomes academically, culturally and on the sporting field.  I am so proud of how well they have continued to demonstrate what it means to be good at learning and good at life.  

Thank you to our school leaders this year, Olivia, Landon, Avei and Hayden for their outstanding representation each and every day. I extend this gratitude to every student who served others at the school this year, with or without a badge, for they have made our school more successful.

Congratulations to everyone who was acknowledge with an award at graduation this week.  Of particular note is the efforts of Honor Pohe.  Her sporting achievements list was outstanding but add to that her academic focus earning her the School Dux for 2024.  

Special award recipients are listed below.    

Swimming carnival

Well done the squads of students in Years 3-6 who participated in the swimming carnival this week.  The staff were amazing in ensuring that everyone stayed safe and had an enjoyable time.  It really was an enormous team effort led expertly by Mrs Duffy, Ms Findlay and Mr Burrows.  

The full results and achievements are following in this issue.

Solid Pathways successes

Congratulations to Muhammed and Talarni who successfully completed their  on-line Solid Pathways - STEM program for the year. 

Fire fighters visit

The Year 1 students enjoyed a visit from some local fire fighters this week. The students learner how to be safe should a fire occur and were able to get up close to the fire truck and equipment. 

2025 focuses

Next year we will be focused on further improving:

1. Our English results
2. Our student behaviour standards
3. Our links to families and our community

Our planning is already under way with these priorities and you will have already noticed some of them.  Things like the return of the school Christmas Concert and a fete and colour run in 2025 are just the start.  

Reading over the vacation

Thank you to Ms Costello for her vacation reading tips.  Please download the PDF and establish some great vacation routines that will set your child up for immediate success when school resumes.

I hope that everyone has a very merry Christmas and is able to enjoy some precious time with their families.

Kind regards

Vic
