Dear families

What a joy it was to gather last fortnight for our Mother’s Day Breakfast! The school was filled with smiles, laughter, and the wonderful buzz of connection as we celebrated the special women in our lives. A heartfelt thank you to the Community Council and all the volunteers who gave so generously of their time to help prepare, serve, and support the event. Your contributions made the morning such a welcoming and memorable one for our whole community.

We also celebrated our Feast Day of Jesus the Good Shepherd, a moment of deep significance for our school. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, reminds us of the importance of compassion, care, and guidance. Just as a shepherd knows each sheep by name and lovingly watches over them, we are reminded of God’s attentive love for every one of us. This feast is a beautiful opportunity to reflect on how we can be good shepherds to one another - offering kindness, support, and inclusion in our school and beyond.

Thank you to all involved in the Walk to School morning last Friday. It was overwhelming to see the number of children, parents, grandparents and staff involved in walking to school.

A reminder that Kindergarten 2026 enrolments are now open. If you have a child who will be starting school in 2026, we encourage you to submit an enrolment form as soon as possible. Early planning helps us ensure a smooth and welcoming start for our new families.

We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make our carpark a safer place for everyone. Thank you to those who have been mindful during pick-up and drop-off times. As part of our service program, the Year 5 students are placing the bollards out each afternoon, and we ask all families to remember not to park in unapproved areas. Parking on the red gravel does block the line of sight between children and moving vehicles. Your cooperation in keeping traffic moving around the central carpark, not queueing in front of the bollards, prevents traffic back up and helps us maintain a secure environment. Please also note that the carpark speed limit is 5km/h.

We warmly invite families to attend the Year 4 Showcase this Friday afternoon. Our Year 4 students have prepared something truly special to highlight their learning so far this year, and they are excited to share their creativity, knowledge, and talents with you.

Finally, we ask families to remain attentive to online behaviour at home. We are noticing an increase in after-hours group messaging among older students, which can sometimes lead to unkindness that carries over into the school day. As always, we are committed to supporting students' wellbeing, but the partnership between home and school is vital. By working together, we can guide our children in using technology positively and respectfully.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in the life of our school.

Warm regards,
Trazel
