JUNIOR SCHOOL NEWS - From the Head of Junior School
Communication Date : Friday 12 August, 2022
Upcoming information for Term 3, Week 6
Well it has been a short but a great week in the Junior School. Our musical production is getting closer and the show is starting to look very energetic and exciting. We hope to see as many Junior school families at the production as possible. Please also keep an eye out for information coming home next week as we begin to look for some parent volunteers to support this event. Funfest is just around the corner and we hope you have managed to purchase your arm bands to make it a great event for the family to attend. Not only are we looking forward to these events but we are looking forward to the opportunity to connect and build our community. Over the past few years this has been challenging, and at times not even possible, so let’s take time to enjoy the moments, enjoy the buzz and enjoy the memories and experiences we can have as a Faith community.
Thank you to all our parents that have blessed our staff this week with smiles, words of kindness and encouragement as they walk through the school - it may seem like a small thing to do but the impact is lasting for our staff who are committed to caring and growing your children each day. I am so proud to lead this talented team of people that always make the decision to put our students first. I really do have the best job in the world!
