I hope everyone has had a wonderful and restful break. I would like to congratulate students on how quickly they have settled into their learning routines. We remain committed to our school motto — Work Hard, Be Kind, Feel Proud — and to ensuring our PRIDE values are evident in all that we do. 

Over the coming year, students will have the opportunity to participate in exciting camps, engaging incursions and enriching excursions. We will also come together for our much-loved whole school events, including Cross Country, Harmony Day, Book Week, our community events and many more special celebrations throughout the year.

Parent communication is important to us. Remember that your child's classroom teacher is the best person to come to with any queries about learning, behaviour or wellbeing. If you feel your concerns have not been adequately addressed by the classroom teacher, talk to the office to organise a meeting with myself.

Our Out of School Hours Care program continues. To support our families we offer a much lower rate than surrouding centres, so I encourage you to check out the OSHC tab on the website.

A reminder to parents that Breakfast Club starts at 8:30 every day. Students who arrive prior to this will need to enrol in OSHC as the yard is unsupervised. The first bell goes at 8:50 for students to come into class.

We now have Bakewell Kindergarten opening on our grounds run by Community Kinders Plus (see tab for more information). Any families with enrolment enquiries are encouraged to contact them directly for further information. Soon we will see construction being on our new toilet facilities at the Russell Street end of the school is scheduled to begin in Term 2. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful year and is excited as I am!
