Principal’s Report

A Special Easter hello and greetings to all our families.

We are very close to the Easter Holidays now and we hope families take the time to enjoy the break and to relax and share in activities with friends and families.

School concludes this week on Thursday March 28 and resumes again on Wednesday 3 April.

Reports will be sent home with students on Thursday 28 March. We encourage all families to share with their children the reports and discuss their progress.

Last week it was great to see students engaging in Harmony Day activities and developing their understandings of respect and cultural diversity. It was also a busy week with many students responding to the call out to wear green and support the Jack Jumpers Basketball Team – while also raising funds for our AED device (Automated External Defibrillator Device).  The school raised $217.00 for this activity and Grade 5-6 A initiative. We thank everyone who supported such a worthwhile activity.

In Week 10 of Term 1, we are looking forward to seeing our families at our World of Learning Event – please keep the date of Thursday 11 April free to visit with us. Classrooms will be open from 2:00 pm and then other activities will be available to join until 3:30. More details will be available closer to the time.

Happy Easter and stay safe and well.

Last week saw many students adding a touch of orange to their clothing. Many students shared their class work and thoughts around diversity and respect for everyone.

The following students selected some vegetables and or fruit from our prize basket for promoting the Harmony Day colour of orange:

The theme of everyone belongs is so important.

A Harmony Message from Toby (5-6A student)

Harmony Week is a celebration that recognises our diversity and brings together all Australians from all diverse backgrounds. It is about inclusiveness, respect, and a sense of belonging for everyone.

Wearing orange can help support and remind us about being respectful of everyone and respecting everyone’s background.

Why do we celebrate?

To recognise people from different countries who have come to Australia. Harmony Week is an opportunity for all Australians to embrace cultural diversity and to share and enjoy what we all have in common.
