Leadership Report

Welcome Back

It was wonderful to see sunshine after the rainy start to the week! Thank you to all parents and carers for their incredible patience and understanding after Cyclone Alfred forced us to close the school at the end of last week. We know it wasn't easy, and we particularly appreciate your flexibility in adapting to the sudden changes. Most importantly, thank you for recognising our main priority: keeping every member of our school community safe. 

This week, we focused on ensuring a smooth transition back to our regular routines, and we're committed to making the rest of the term a positive and productive experience for everyone. Our hearts go out to all our diocesan schools and communities up north that were more significantly affected by Cyclone Alfred, and we hold them close in our thoughts and prayers.

NAPLAN

Fortunately, we could proceed with our NAPLAN assessments this week for students in years 3 and 5. We started with Writing on Wednesday, followed by Reading, Conventions of Language (spelling and grammar) and finished with Mathematics on Friday. We are very proud of how our students applied themselves with a positive mindset, focus and diligence throughout each assessment. Our gratitude extends to our Class Teachers Mrs Steep and Mrs Peck who prepared our students well on what to expect and encouraged them throughout the assessments. We know our students are all ‘smart cookies’ with ‘sharp minds’ who have lots of ‘learning energy’. Well done!

Best wishes from the leadership team
