Wow, what a busy school year it has been for everyone. As we start our end of term break, I would like to just remind all of you how awesome you all are.

As parents you have managed to support your children throughout the school year despite illness, busy schedules and competing demands. I would like to comment specifically on how well the Preps settled in this year and are now very ready to start Year 1 in 2025. It has been wonderful to witness their growth and resilience this year. Also, the Year 6 students have demonstrated that they are now ready for their next transition into high school and have all worked hard this year with assessments and busy extra-curricular schedules.  The captains have done a brilliant job and have proved to be good role models for their peers. The teachers, school officers, admin/cleaning and school leadership staff are an amazing bunch of people and have demonstrated a very high level of commitment to the school and the students.

As a school counsellor I have been so impressed with the students this year and their ability to try to tackle difficult tasks and to learn how to become more resilient so that they can face life challenges. I have included the 5 things all kids should believe about themselves list so that you can reiterate these tips with your children during the break. Have a safe and joyous Christmas/New Year!

Kind regards,
Sharon Scouller
