EVERY PUPIL IS IMPORTANT EVERY STAFF MEMBER IS AN ASSET EVERY PARENT IS A PARTNER

From the Principal Thank you I would like to take this opportunity to say a HUGE thank you to Miss. Nicholls for her fantastic work as the Acting Assistant Principal this term. Miss. Nicholls has done a fantastic job and will be missed up in the office area (and of course so will Bailey!!) A big thank you to Ms. Terlich who replaced Miss. Nicholls in the 5/6 area. You have done an amazing job and all the students will miss you. We know we will see you around in term 4. Thank you to Miss. Bertram who has been working as an ES member in the 5/6 area this term. We will be sad to see you go and wish you all the best for your future endeavours. I can’t believe that we are at the end of term 3 already. It has been fantastic performing the role of Principal this term and I would like to thank all the staff, students and parents for their support. Mrs. Edwards will be returning all refreshed and sun tanned at the beginning of term 4. Compass Launch Thank you to the parents whom attended our Compass launch afternoon. We hope that you have all had a chance to log on and get familiar with the system. We will be running another session early term 4 for those whom missed out or were unable to attend.

Last Day of Term/Student Disco Friday 16th September is the last day of Term 3. (How quickly this term has gone!) School will finish at 2.30pm on this day. There will be a student Disco on this day and students are asked to come in their footy colours. The cost of the disco is $5 per student/$10 per family. There will not be a footy match between staff and 5/6 students on this day now. Region Athletics We had some fantastic results from the Region Athletics last Thursday with 6 students qualifying for the next level. Georgia Dakin came 1st in her Long Jump with a record jump and 2nd in High Jump, Chloe Culhane came 3rd in Triple Jump, Jess Hall came 4th in Discus and 3rd in Shot Put, Maddi Foss came 2nd in Discus, Jed Rosenow came 2nd in 1500m, Tyson Masinovic came 3rd in High Jump and Ngawati Reuben came 4th in his High Jump. Great effort everyone. Congratulations. Have great holidays everyone,
