From the Principal's Desk
Confidentiality
At times there may be incidents within the school that involve certain students and you may hear about them through other parents. These may relate to another child’s progress and learning or their behaviour. It is most important that the confidentiality of that student and of his or her family is protected. Always treat such incidents with empathy – no one would like their own child to be the topic of discussion among parents. If you have some specific concerns that relate to your own child, please do not hesitate to address these through the appropriate channels.
Lost Property
Parents and carers, we have a large number of jumpers and jackets in the lost property tub. If your child has misplaced any of these items, could you please let your teacher know? Any items not collected by the end of Term 3 will be washed and placed in the clothing pool.

This week, we have welcomed the Nanneththi family into our school community. Welcome Omin (Kindergarten) and Kemin (Year 3). The staff and students have enjoyed meeting you. We look forward to working in partnership with you and your family.
On behalf of the school community, we congratulate the Folinio-Gallo family on the birth of their beautiful baby boy. A brother for Amelia (Kindergarten) and Jordan. Welcome, baby Luca.
Safety around our School
Student safety is paramount at all times in our school, and I remind parents and family members who collect children from school to observe parking restrictions that are in place in local streets. Please observe all speed limits in place around the school. I also remind parents and caregivers to use the assigned school crossing if you park on the opposite side of the road. The local council enforces parking restrictions and safe practices around our school. Thank you for keeping our children safe.

As we head into the final month of Term 3, please check your Compass and Seesaw notifications, social media posts and newsletter for upcoming events. Thank you for all your support.
