Welcome to Term 1, 2025!

Welcome back to another exciting school year! It has been fantastic to see our students in uniform, engaged in their learning, and ready for the year ahead.

Staffing Changes

At the end of Term 4, some unexpected staffing changes took place. Emily Roberts was successful in securing the Principal role at Sandy Bay Infant School, and Janina has moved to Campania District School for Term 1. We wish them both all the best in their new roles.

We are delighted to welcome the following new staff members:

•  Cath Burgess – Assistant Principal (K-2)
•  Nathan Mills – Assistant Principal (3-6)
•  Caitlin Hamilton – AST (3-6 Support)
•  Kimberley Peebles – Year 3/4 Teacher
•  Sarsha Addison – Year 3/4 Teacher
•  Madison Smith – Resource Teacher (K-2)
•  Lily Barwick – Resource Teacher (3-6)

 Important Reminders

No Electric Scooters at School

Electric scooters can reach very high speeds and pose safety risks in our busy school environment. For those riding bicycles or non-electric scooters to school, helmets must be worn at all times.

Validation Forms – Week 4

In Week 4, we will be inviting families to complete student validation forms. A coffee van will be onsite offering complimentary drinks, and plenty of staff will be available to assist. Please note that students will not be able to participate in any excursions (including futsal) until their validation forms are completed.

Wheelchair Access Car Park

A new wheelchair-accessible parking bay and ramp have been installed to improve accessibility to our school grounds. Please refrain from parking in this designated space to ensure it remains available for those who need it.

Thank you for your cooperation and support as we start the new school year. We look forward to another fantastic term ahead!
