‘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.
