Principal's report - Term 3 Week 9

Dear families.

Recent school events

We have had some fabulous recent school events.

Our Book Week celebrations were magical! Thank you to our parents and carers who supported the day and for helping your children shine in such elaborate costumes. Our Book Fair was well supported and funds were raised to purchase additional books for our library. I extend my deepest gratitude to Mrs Banfield, our librarian, for coordinating this special day of celebration.

Congratulations to all of our children for their stellar efforts in sharing their learning at our recent showcase assemblies. It was so lovely to see so many families in attendance.

Last week our school held the final of our public speaking competition. Congratulations to all stage finalists who spoke with clarity, confidence and ease. A special mention is to be made of Kai, Fletcher, Archie and Max who were our stage winners and represented our school at the Wollongong Network final today. We are so proud of our boys.

Our Stage 2 and 3 students are to be commended for their stellar sportsmanship at the recent gala days. Thank you Mr Bell for coordinating this event for our children.

And, finally, what a successful Election Day we had at our school. Thank you to all our volunteers who generously gave their time to support our P&C at the election day bake sale and BBQ.

Swim Scheme

Over the next fortnight, many children from our school are participating in the school swimming scheme program at Corrimal Pool. They are having a ball each day as they learn about water safety and strengthen their swimming skills.

P&C meeting

Our next P&C meeting will be held at 9am on Tuesday 15 October in the administration area. All are welcome to attend.

Upcoming school holidays

This school term ends on Friday 27 September. School returns for all children on Monday 14 October. I wish all families a lovely school holidays full of joy, happiness and laughter.

Enjoy a wonderful week!
