A Message from the Head Teacher
A Message from the Head Teacher
Dear Parents, Carers and Students,
As we come to the close of a busy and rewarding term, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the wonderful achievements and experiences our students have enjoyed.
This term, our students had many opportunities to participate in different excursions around our beautiful city, including to the Sydney Opera House, Manly Beach and Sydney University. These excursions offer valuable learning experiences to discover more about Australian culture and lifestyle, practise their language skills in real-world settings and form meaningful bonds with their classmates.
In addition to these experiences, we have continued to strengthen our learning programs across all grades. Our dedicated teachers have been working hard to support each student’s growth, particularly in developing strong English skills. We encourage all families to maintain this momentum over the upcoming holidays by engaging in reading, writing, and everyday conversations in English. These simple activities can make a significant difference in language development and confidence.
Please enjoy the photo galleries from this term showcasing the diverse activities your children have been involved in throughout the term. Our committed teachers develop hands-on learning opportunities inside and outside the classroom that encourage students to learn through experience and thoughtful reflection.
I would like to thank our parents and carers for your ongoing support and partnership. We look forward to welcoming everyone back next term for more exciting learning adventures.
I wish all students and families a wonderful and safe break and look forward to seeing our students back and refreshed on Tuesday 14th October, 2025.
Ms Moschatos
Head Teacher
