Principal's Update
Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope this message finds you well and that all our mothers had a truly beautiful Mother's Day. It's a special time to recognise and appreciate the incredible women in our lives who nurture, guide, and support us.
To all our mothers, thank you for your endless love and dedication. We hope you enjoyed a day filled with love, joy, and relaxation.
A huge thank you to everyone who was able to join us for our celebrations on Friday. It was such a special morning for everyone.
I am also excited to share that our building works are progressing quickly. Our school is transforming day by day, and it's thrilling to witness the changes. I have included a few photos showcasing the recent progress. These enhancements to our facilities are a testament to our commitment to providing the best possible learning environment for our students. We are all looking forward to the completion of these works and the opportunities they will bring to our school community.
Lastly, I want to wish everyone a wonderful week ahead.

Emergency Contacts & Change of Routine information
Please note that the Emergency Contact we have for your child is for the school to use in an emergency if we can't contact the parents/guardian. Emergency Contacts do not have permission to collect your child during school hours.
If your child is being collected early by someone other than parent/guardian, or has a change of routine after school, please contact the school office to notify us of this. Do not send a message to the teacher via Seesaw re these changes as they may be away or not see it as they are teaching. The Office staff will not allow collection of a child until we have confirmed this with a parent/guardian.
Medication at School - A reminder that Request to Administer Medication forms need to be completed each year. If your child had the completed form in 2023, you are covered for a short time, but please have the doctor complete this asap.
If your child has never had medication at school but now needs to do so, please have the attached form completed, signed and stamped by the doctor and bring the medication to the school office in the original container. This includes prescription medication as well as over the counter meds (pharmacists can complete this form for puffers and over the counter meds. Without this completed form, we are unable to have the medication on site (please do not put medications in your child's bag for them to take).
