Taking care of ourselves starts with taking responsibility! 🎈✨

Last week in Mrs. Kennedy’s SPHE class, Class 4.1 kicked off a fun and hands-on lesson in self-care and personal responsibility. Each student has been given their very own balloon to keep safe, whole, and intact all week long! 🎈🙌

It’s a simple challenge with a big message: protecting what’s important requires daily attention, effort, and care—just like looking after ourselves! 💙

Reminder: Appropriate School Bags
Dear students, parents/guardians,
A reminder that handbags and tote bags should not be used as school bags.
Students need to carry books, equipment and homework to and from school each day, and these bags are not suitable for this purpose. All students should use a proper school bag, such as a backpack or rucksack, that can comfortably hold everything they need for the school day.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Parking Notification
Dear Parents/Guardians,
As we begin the new school year, we would like to remind all parents and guardians to please park responsibly during morning drop-off and afternoon collection times.
We have already received complaints from local residents about cars blocking access to their homes and parking on footpaths. We fully understand that the area around the school can be very busy at these times, but we kindly ask everyone to be mindful of our neighbours and to avoid parking in a way that causes obstruction, inconvenience or safety concerns.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and helps us to maintain positive relationships with our local community while ensuring the safety of all students, residents and pedestrians.
Thank you for your continued support.
