Congratulations to our music groups!

It has been wonderful to see our band and string groups go to Chatswood this week to compete in the Sydney Eisteddfod. The students were so professional in the way they conducted themselves and represented the school. Makes you feel very proud to be apart of our school.

Results so far!

Senior Strings - 3rd, Concert Strings - 1st, Junior Strings - Highly Commended, Orchestra - 1st, Concert Band - 1st, Senior Band - 3rd, Jazz Band - Awaiting results.... (only performed this morning)

A huge thank you to you to our P&C Band and String committee, Mr Mansukhani and Mr Walmsley and Ms Wolski for coordinating the event as well as the many parent helpers that helped with transporting large instruments and the train trips.

It is great to be back on the stage!

CELEBRATE STUDENT SUCCESS

Today I was excited to have a visit from some Year 4 students who had been writing about a local endangered species named the 'Greater Glider'. Some amazing writing for you to read to help do your bit to save this species. Enjoy!

NEW TEMPORARY ADMINISTRATION OFFICE

As of Monday next week, our administration and executive leadership team will be moving to a temporary location until the upgrade of our admin area and staff room are complete. The new administration area is located next door to the uniform shop as you enter the school through the bottom gate on McMillan Rd.

The building works will take the majority of Term three and we hope to be back in our upgraded administration area for the start of Term 4.

Please be patient as I am sure there will be some small adjustments needed with the change as we all get use to working in our new areas. Clear signage is being created to assist with locating the new area for our community.

FAQ

Are there any changes to how we access the admin staff and school?

• All enquiries as normal, including collecting children from sick bay, signing in as a visitor or signing your child into or out of school will be from this location.
• Please treat this temporary office as you would the old one.

My child's classroom is located above the office. Will this impact them?

• Year 1 classrooms above the office area will not be impacted. The only change is access to their classrooms.
• All Year 1 children will access their classroom, morning and afternoon from the stairs located in the McMillan Playground, not the front stairs facing McMillan Rd. 
• Pick up and drop off locations for Year one students will still be on the McMillan Playground.

Will access to the front of the school be impacted?

• The main gate and bottom gate on McMillan Rd will still be available for students to access the school.
• The front section of the school between these two gates will be fenced off for safety.
• This will not impact students arriving or exiting the school. 
• The 'Kiss and Drop' zone at the front of the school will not be impacted.

When will the project be completed?

• The goal is to be back in the new administration area for the start of Term 4.
• We will keep you informed to any changes as they arise.
