Head of School, Zoe O'Donnell
Dear Parents and Carers,
As we approach the middle of Term 1 it is lovely to see our students settled, connected and ready to learn.
We have continued to explore our behaviour expectations, Be Fair, Be Kind and Be your best Selves with students and have enjoyed celebrating the success we are seeing in our students modelling these as actions within their school life.
From wearing our uniform with pride, picking up rubbish because we care for our school grounds or even the kindness shown by actively looking for ways to include each other in games, our actions are indicative of the values that we uphold.
