Dear families,

Welcome to our second week of 2024! Our students have settled in to the routines of school, well done to our Foundation students! It has been great to be back together and feel the buzz and excitement that a new school year brings. We continue to extend a warm welcome to all families, inviting you to come into the courtyard with your child in the morning, and/or to gather in the courtyard area from 3:00pm, entering via Rowell St. gate or Barry St. gate.

This year we will be having a whole school focus each term for Religion and Humanities/Science. This term In Religion our learning area is ‘The Life and Mission of Jesus’. We will be teaching about God’s love expressed in the person and mission of Jesus, about being in the right relationship with God, and with all creation including people. For Humanities we will be focusing on Australian History. Our whole school topic is ‘I am, you are’, students will be learning about how people and events shaped who we are today.
