CELEBRATING TERM 1

As we approach the end of another enriching school term, I wanted to take a moment to extend our heartfelt appreciation to every one of you. Your continuous support, trust, and collaboration have truly made this term a remarkable journey for our entire school community.

We are immensely proud of the incredible achievements our students have made academically, emotionally, and socially throughout these past few months. This success wouldn't have been possible without the unwavering dedication and hard work of our exceptional teaching staff.

Our teachers have poured their hearts and souls into planning meticulously detailed units of work, tailoring their approaches to cater to the unique needs of every child. They've created nurturing learning environments where students can flourish, fostering meaningful relationships that serve as the bedrock for academic and personal growth.

I understand that our students are feeling exhausted and in need of rest to recharge their batteries. As the week draws to a close, I encourage you to dedicate some time as a family to enjoy each other's company and engage in activities that bring joy and relaxation to your lives. It's essential to prioritize self-care and fill your "buckets" with whatever brings you happiness and rejuvenation.

An outstanding achievement by our very own Titus at yesterday's Sydney North Regional Swimming Carnival.

Titus not only won the 9yr old Boys 50m freestyle, butterfly and Jnr Boys 200m Individual Medley and came second in the 9yr old Boys Backstroke and Breaststroke, but he also swam a personal best time of 31 seconds and broke the current Sydney North 50m Freestyle record.

This is a phenomenal achievement and one I know Titus has worked extremely hard at to achieve his goals.

We send him all our thoughts, best wishes and loud cheers for next week's NSW State Swimming Championships!

To all the families who were up before dawn (the best part of the day) this morning to drop their child at school to be bussed away to our nation's Capital for three full days of learning, please know they have arrived safe and sound and have had an amazing first day.

As you would all know and appreciate, overnight excursions like this do not happen without the dedication and support of our outstanding teachers who give up their family time to provide these experiences for our students.

Enjoy the night off without them and know they are having the best time.

Here are some images of the first day.

Yesterday, we celebrated World Autism Day (April 2nd) and it's a timely reminder of our commitment to inclusivity at our school. In celebrating diversity, we recognise the importance of creating an environment where every child feels valued and supported.

As we continue to embrace the values of diversity and inclusivity at our school, it's important to reflect on the richness that comes from welcoming every student, regardless of their background, abilities, or needs. Our school community thrives on the principle that every child deserves an equal opportunity to learn and grow in a supportive environment.

One of the aspects that make our school truly special is our commitment to meeting the diverse needs of all our students. We understand that each child is unique, with their own set of strengths, challenges, and individual requirements. It is with this understanding that we develop a range of support systems and resources to ensure that every student can reach their full potential.

You may have noticed that there are children at our school who have additional needs, whether they require additional learning support, accommodations, or specialised services. It's essential to recognise that these needs vary from student to student and are handled with the utmost confidentiality and sensitivity.

As parents, it's natural to be curious about the support and services available to children. However, it's important to respect the confidentiality of individual students' needs and accommodations. Maintaining privacy for these students and their families is crucial in nurturing a trusting and inclusive school environment.

In celebrating inclusivity at our school, we embrace the diversity that enriches our learning environment and recognise the importance of supporting every student, regardless of their differences. Together, as a united school community, we can continue to foster an environment where every child feels valued, accepted, and empowered to succeed.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to making our school a place where every child can thrive.
