Principal's Message

We are incredibly fortunate to enjoy such strong and generous support from our parent community.

The number of Easter donations received this year has been overwhelming and the enthusiasm shown through raffle ticket sales has been equally impressive. Your support directly contributes to the important work of our Parents & Friends Association, whose efforts continue to enhance our school environment. Last year, funds raised supported the purchase of new furniture for our Junior Campus and the committee is now finalising plans to modernise the kitchen at the AG Daws Hall - an upgrade that will benefit both our students and the wider community by making the facility more appealing for hire.

The Parents & Friends Association held their Annual General Meeting in February and I am pleased to acknowledge the continued leadership of Sheree Horspole as President. She is ably supported by Vice President Caroline Christensen, Secretary Kellie Kempton, Treasurer Paula Regan, and Catering Coordinator Kylea Dickson. This dedicated team works tirelessly behind the scenes and their impact is felt across many aspects of school life. This term alone, they have been exceptionally busy providing catering at numerous school and interschool sporting events. I would also like to sincerely thank the many parents and our Senior Campus students who have generously volunteered their time to support these efforts. Together, these contributions have resulted in significant fundraising success, which will directly benefit our students in the future. Our School Council elections were held last night and I thank all those who have committed to serving our school community in this important governance role. Luke Webb has taken on the role of President, supported by Paul Dunn as Vice President. I also acknowledge and thank returning members Jocelyn Clark, Kristy Clarke and Chrissy Baulch for their ongoing commitment to a further three years of service. School Council plays a vital role in shaping the school’s vision, approving policies and ensuring that resources are aligned to support the best possible outcomes for our students. It is a meaningful way to be involved in the life of the school and to have a voice in its continued growth and improvement. At present, we have one parent representative vacancy on School Council and I strongly encourage any interested members of our community to consider this opportunity.

Another wonderful way to support our school is by becoming a parent helper at the Junior Campus. These opportunities provide a valuable chance to be directly involved in your child’s learning environment and to contribute to the vibrant culture of our school. Next term, parents will be invited to assist with a range of activities including classroom support, reading groups and literacy and numeracy programs. Even a small amount of time can make a significant difference and our staff greatly value the extra support in creating engaging and inclusive learning experiences for all students. Further information about how to get involved, including days, times and requirements, will be shared early next term. We warmly encourage anyone who can consider participating.

It has also been wonderful to see so many parents, carers and extended family members attending our recent sports days and weekly assemblies at the Junior Campus. This strong show of support creates a genuine sense of community and belonging for our students, who take great pride in sharing their achievements and milestones with those closest to them. Your presence not only celebrates their efforts, but also reinforces the importance of connection between home and school, helping to build confidence and a positive school experience for every child.

Once again, I extend my sincere gratitude to all members of our community who continue to give their time, energy, and support. It is this collective commitment that makes our school such a vibrant, connected and successful place for our young people to learn and thrive.

As we approach the end of term, I wish all families a safe, restful and enjoyable holiday break and look forward to welcoming everyone back for another exciting term ahead.
