Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Carers

Year Six Leadership Ceremony

Yesterday our Year Six students participated in an induction ceremony to receive their Leadership shirts and badges. It was lovely to be able to invite a representative of each family member to the ceremony. In order to accommodate these  representatives some visitors we were required to sit in our Courtyard keeping close company with our chickens. We live in strange times, if nothing else it will make for an amusing memory in the years to come.

Congratulations to all Year Six children. We feel feel very confident that you will make excellent leaders.

Awards Ceremonies

The communication process will remain unchanged with parents receiving a note from the classroom teacher in the week preceding the presentation of the award.

Principals’ Retreat

On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I have been/will be attending the Archdiocesan Principals Retreat in Bowral. This is an annual event normally held at this time of the year for all 56 principals in our Archdiocese, an area which extends from Lake Cargelligo to Bega including the ACT.

Wednesday’s agenda will include a new Teaching and Learning Framework entitled Catalyst which is being rolled out across our System. The remaining two days will be a personal retreat for all participants.
