Principal’s Report: Welcome Back:

I sincerely hope all staff,

students and parents had a

wonderful holiday.

Term 4 is a long, hard-working

term in which significant

learning should occur.

Our students need to read

every night and complete all

homework that is set.

I am very confident our

students will achieve great

success this term.

Highlights of the term include

prep and grade 1 activity

nights, grade 2 sleepover,

grade 3/4 camp at Swan Hill,

Grade 5/6 Camp at Melbourne

and Ballarat, grade 2-6

swimming programme and the

end-of-year concert.
