As this is the last newsletter for 2024, we want to thank our staff who are leaving us at the end of the year. Your dedication, hard work, and passion have made a lasting impact on our school community.

Thank you for the positive contributions you've made, the kindness you've shown, and the inspiration you've provided to both students and colleagues. You will be greatly missed.

May the road rise to meet you. 

May the wind be always at your back. 

May the sun shine warm upon your face. 

And rains fall soft upon your fields.

You are the source of all joy, and being in Your presence fills our hearts with happiness. Thank You for guiding us along the path of life and reminding us of Your love through the people and blessings You’ve placed in our lives. Teach us to pause and appreciate the moments when we feel Your joy. Let us seek Your presence daily and trust that You are with us in everything we do. Help us to share that joy with others, spreading smiles and kindness wherever we go. Thank You for being our constant source of strength and happiness. Amen

As we approach the Christmas season, I would like to thank everyone in our school community for their hard work and dedication.  It has been a wonderful and productive school year, and it was made even more special with the support of our staff, students, and families.

I hope this holiday season brings you all much-needed rest, joy, and time spent with loved ones. May it be a time for relaxation, reflection, and the creation of beautiful memories.

We look forward to welcoming you back in 2025.

This term, our Year 3 students have been exploring the fascinating world of force and motion during Science. To put their knowledge into practice, they took on the exciting challenge of designing and building a paddle boat that could move through water as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The students embraced this task with enthusiasm, showing incredible teamwork, creativity, and perseverance. Throughout the process, they collaborated to refine their designs, troubleshoot problems, and test their boats. Trial after trial, they demonstrated resilience and a commitment to improvement, culminating in an outdoor race event last week.

The outdoor races provided a final opportunity to test their designs and make any last-minute adjustments. It was a fantastic way to see their hard work come to life! We had some outstanding performances, with Ivy, Arthur, Lauchy, Oscar, and Freddy achieving the fastest and most maneuverable boats.

A huge congratulations to all of Year 3 for their amazing efforts. Each student should feel proud of their creativity, determination, and teamwork throughout this challenge. What a fantastic example of learning through doing!
