End of Term

I would like to congratulate the students on a wonderful Term 1. It has been very pleasing witnessing the engagement in learning in all the classrooms, as well as the leadership skills the students have initiated. I would like to thank all the staff who have been committed to ensuring quality learning is occurring in all classrooms and that the students are happy and safe at all times. I wish all families a safe and happy Easter break.
