Principal Talk with Mrs. Lowe
Welcome to Term 4
It is absolutely wonderful to welcome everyone back to onsite learning this week. We have been very fortunate that our Local Government Area has remained out of 'lock-down' and that we can return to school.
The students have started with a spring in their step and a smile on their faces and I noticed immediately that all classes knuckled straight down to work.
We look forward to a productive term of learning and we will endeavour to adhere to the Stage 3 restrictions, outlined in the letter I sent home last Thursday, as closely as possible.
Please note the current dates for important events this term. Please be aware that whilst we are in Stage Three Restrictions many of these will not be able to run.
