Dear Parents and Carers

This week our Stage 1 students have attending their intensive week of swimming lessons. There has been tremendous growth for each of these students and we are so proud of the resilience and motivation that they have demonstrated in their lessons.

Music Performances

This week we there have been pop up music performances, showcasing the growing talent and enthusiasm that our students have. The piccolo choir performed to a packed Burnett Theatre and our Stage 2 students performed Mozart’s ‘Rondo Alla Turca’ in rhythm.

Staffing Updates

Music

Mrs Kerryn Vezos will be continuing to deliver exceptional music lessons to the junior school as Ms Feilla has extended her leave for the year.

Stage 1C

At the end of this term, we will joyfully send Mrs Usher off on maternity leave as she prepares for the birth of her third child. Mrs Usher has been an asset to the Stage 1 team, bringing fun to the end of each week. Mrs Kate Ziggy will be rejoining our stage 1 team for the remainder of the year. Mrs Ziggy is a familiar face who has taught with us in stage 1 previously.
