    End of Term 3 Celebration Event - All Welcome! 
    On Thursday 26 September at 2 pm on the concrete playground, we will celebrate the achievements and skills of our students. Most students have been able to join one or more of our interest groups, and this will be an opportunity to showcase some of these skills. Everyone is welcome to join us, we would love a big crowd!

    Our PB4L focus for Week 8 is Be Safe - Movement around the school. In the last few weeks, we have unfortunately had some accidents in our school. Students are learning this week to focus on moving safely around our school. This means walking, moving slowly and carefully, not touching others as we move around, and being aware of what is around us when we are moving. We want our school to be a safe place for everyone.
    Our SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) focus for Week 8 is Empathy. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, and to respond appropriately to their needs and perspectives. Nurturing empathy is vital for building strong connections, promoting kindness and compassion, and being responsible in social situations. Students are learning about different ways they can show empathy this week.
    Congratulations to Year 2, who have been exemplary in their
    behaviour for Weeks 3-4 and Weeks 5-6, with no low or high recordings from anyone in the class! They received a double Leadership team reward last, very deserving after their hard work in following all behaviour expectations in our school. Well done, Year 2! We hope to see lots of other classes in this category in the coming weeks.
    National Child Protection Week
    This site has great resources and information for parents, including how to approach conversations with your children about online safety. 
    We are unwavering in our commitment to the safety and well being of children and young people. This is at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to be part of a diocesan community dedicated to ensuring children are safe, cared for, respected, and heard. Every conversation matters.
