Principal's Report
It is exciting to be able to finish the term in style with Pet Day today. There have been a lot of super excited children all week looking forward to today. A huge thank you to all the parents who have helped get pets ready and brought them along today. Pet Day is a day that wouldn't be possible without a lot of parent support.
As we finish off what has been a crazy term, I would like to thank all our school community for their ongoing support of our school, our students, and their learning.
Have a wonderful, well deserved break and we look forward to seeing you all next term.
