Principals Message 2016 Classes formed today All of our students excitedly went into their new classrooms today. Last Friday we finalised our enrolment numbers which allowed us to form 14 classes as we anticipated at the end of last year. The 2016 enrolment pattern meant that the additional class is a stage 3 class. On Friday afternoon our teachers stayed back for a meeting to finalise the class structures due to a number of students not returning to the school and also placing our new enrolments. Thanks to Mrs Jenkins for completing all of the enrolment administration last week to allow us to organise the classes. Kindergarten Best Start Our new Kindergarten students have been working through their Best Start Assessment over the last few days and will all be starting in their new classes tomorrow. It will be great to have the whole team together on Tuesday.
Berry Show Congratulations to everyone involved in the Berry Show this year. The show had a wide range of wonderful entertainment and our students and staff all enjoyed their Friday afternoon walk together. A huge thanks to Mrs Quinn for coordinating the display of student art work at the pavilion.
