Principals Report Week 6 Term 1
Dear Parents and Carers,
I had the pleasure of accompanying Year 6 on Camp last week to Berry Sport and Recreation Centre.
After a smooth bus ride, 6 Camp began with a fantastic afternoon on the water. London went kayaking, whilst Athens undertook an activity called ‘Biscuits’, that had no connection to baking! Dinner was delicious and this was followed by night activities. It was an active camp with a lot of fun and laughter!
Our Year 6 leaders were wonderful representatives of our school whilst on camp - well done Year 6!
Best wishes for the week ahead,
Greg Walker
Principal
Spanning across the six weeks of Lent, Project Compassion brings thousands of schools, parishes and supporters together to raise funds for the most marginalised communities around the world. By donating to Project Compassion, you will be helping empower our world’s most vulnerable communities to grow stronger and share their strengths with their communities to lift themselves out of poverty.
Every class has a Project Compassion box for donations.
Please give generously.

Whole Day Absences via Parent Portal
Whole Day Absences
If your child is absent from school for a whole day or longer, please submit details of the absence via the Parent Portal. This should be completed within 7 days of the absence. There is no need to adjust times for whole day absences.
If your child will only be absent for a partial day, the absence will be recorded as your child is signed in or out via the kiosk at the front office. You do not need to add an early pick up or late drop off via the Parent Portal.
Unexplained absences for your child will be displayed on your homepage when you log in to Parent Portal.
If an unexplained absence appears that you believe to be incorrect, please send an email to the front office for investigation.
Fathers and carers of all years are invited to attend the 1st DoR’s catch up for 2023. If successful the DoR’s will look to quarterly catch ups throughout 2023.
