Leadership Report
Music Appreciation
On Monday, a small orchestral group of musicians from the Conservatorium of Music visited our school, delighting students from K–6 with a live music performance. They showcased the flute, clarinet, keyboard, and violin, demonstrating how music tells a story. Students were highly engaged in their learning and appreciation of musical arts.
Dance Teams 2025
We are incredibly proud of our three dance teams who competed at the Port Macquarie Dance Eisteddfod on Thursday in the small schools section. Performing on the big Glasshouse stage, our students shone with confidence, energy, and teamwork. Each group delivered stunning routines that showcased their dedication and enthusiasm for dance this year. Our dancers represented our school with pride and spirit— placings were:
A massive thank you to all the teachers who helped the students with everything from routines to costumes, and gave up their time to teach the dances. We really appreciate all that you do. A special thank you to our parents who helped with all the hair and make-up on the day.
A huge congratulations to all involved—you’ve made us all so proud with your amazing performances!
Colour Run Fundraiser
We launched our SCG Colour Run Fundraiser this week and have over 50 students already registered on the online portal and over $2000 raised.
A massive thank you to the committee, headed by Rachel de Vries who have had this in the works for over a year. If you are having trouble registering your child, please reach out to your class parent. Ideally, every child would be set up for the beginning of next term.
The goal is to raise $30 000 to go towards our new school playground. Emma Hockham is working on a white T-shirt mini fundraiser with T-shirts available to purchase for the day later next term. We will also be reaching out to businesses to donate directly, with opportunities to slime teachers and other volunteers. Mr Marshall seems to be the most popular vote by the students.
$20 Boss is back
We are excited to share that Year 5 and 6 students participating in the Boss project have now received their initial startup capital!
This marks the beginning of the action phase, where students will put their business plans into practice by purchasing materials and starting to trade. This hands-on program is invaluable, helping students develop essential skills in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and creativity.
We encourage you to talk to your child about their business idea and how they plan to use their as a great opportunity to discuss real-world budgeting and profit. We look forward to seeing their innovative ventures!
Haircuts
Just a gentle reminder for the holidays that accordinging to our uniform policy, no extreme haircuts are permitted at school. This includes ‘mullets’, ‘partial fades’ and ‘cut designs’. Hair should be of normal and even length, long hair tied back, and of natural colour. Please refer to the following School Uniform Policy link for our guidelines.
