Musical Brilliance

I was fortunate to be able to attend both the Grainger Beginning Band Workshop Concert and the Paganini Advanced Strings Workshop, with Macgregor SS and Warrigal Road SS, over the last two weeks. A big thank you to our Music Staff for your hard work in organising and preparing our students. Yet again I was extremely impressed by our students’ behaviour, presentation and the outstanding musically quality. I am feeling very proud of these amazing students - Well Done!

Mother’s Day

I hope all of our wonderful mothers had a relaxing and enjoyable Mother’s Day last Sunday. A big thank you to our P&C Executive and all of our parent volunteers, who ran a very successful Mother’s Day stall for our students. This was an amazing service for our school community, as students had the opportunity to purchase a gift for their Mums, and continue to learn the importance of giving and showing appreciation. Mums, I hope you were spoilt!

Attendance Matters

When you are reviewing your child’s report card later this term, take a moment to consider your child’s attendance rate. Research shows that students who have good attendance are more likely to achieve high results at school. If students aren’t at school or don’t stay the whole day, they are missing valuable lessons which will help them to achieve to their full potential.
