Curriculum Day Monday 27 April ‘You Can Do It’ Student of the Week A Message From The Principal Dear Parents/Guardians, Welcome back to Term 2! I hope everyone had a happy and relaxing time ready for the very busy term ahead. As you know, I was on long service leave during Term 1. Therefore I’d like to thank most sincerely Mrs. Elene Archbold for the excellent job she did as acting principal in my absence. Elene’s very friendly and “can do” attitude is a real asset to our school. Schools are very busy and vibrant places that rely heavily not only on the hard work and good will of all staff but also the support of parents. I sincerely thank all those parents who, in all sorts of ways, demonstrate their genuine and friendly support to the school. It’s greatly appreciated. This week’s key to success: ... Congratulations to the following children who have demonstrated our “You Can Do It” keys to success: Getting Along, Confidence, Organisation, Persistence and Resilience.
