From The Principal's Desk
Dear Parents, Staff and Students
As we come to the close of another school term we all look back at the wonderful experiences our students have had this term, both academically and extra-curricular. Thank you to all staff and parents who have assisted in allowing all this to happen for the benefit of our students. To all staff, students and families I wish you a wonderful spring vacation. Term Four commences on Tuesday October 8th.
This week our Yr 5 & 6 students compete in the Cricket T20 competition in Tully on Wednesday and Mary Mills Netball and Jim Graham Football in Cairns on Friday. Thank you to all parents who are assisting with transport for these events and helping with managing teams. We wish our students a great experience and the best of luck on the two days.
Our P-2 students are excited about their U8’s day this Friday and staff are busy getting ready for fun activities and some outdoor challenges.
Our Fete on Saturday September 7th was once again a wonderful testament to the community we live in. Our students were the focus at the commencement of the night with their amazing dance performances. We thank our staff and parents who prepare our students for the performances leading up to the fete.
Food was in plentiful supply and the prizes were of the highest quality. A special thank you to our Fete Convenors (Kylie, Cheryl, Marie, Jane and Alice), and our P & F Executive (Andrew, John, Kate and Vanessa), along with all those who convened and volunteered on stalls. Your help leading up to the fete and on the night is what allows the night to run so successfully.
This week we have a few teachers on leave and I thank the dedicated and capable teachers who are replacing them. Please liaise directly with them for any student matters or contact the office to pass on a message.
Enjoy the vacation period and your valued family time.
