Principal's Report

Week 8 is upon us already as we continue to hurtle towards the end of the academic school year. Staffing for 2024 is in its final phases and parents/carers will be notified shortly about classes and teachers for 2024. There will be some movement among teachers on classes next year, to continue to build the professional capabilities of all our teachers.

NICK QUINE UPDATE:

Yesterday we were very pleased to have a visit from

Nick and his mum Ruth. Nick was happy to connect with all his friends and update us on his progress Thank you to families for their thoughts and prayers as Nick recovers from his injury. The Quine family have been very grateful for all the support they have received.
