Head of Junior School Springwood - Andy Marshall

Dear Parents and Carers,

It has been a wonderful start to the term, with students returning settled, positive, and ready to learn. It has been especially encouraging to see the way they are supporting one another, showing kindness, and living out our school values of being fair, kind and their best selves in the classroom and playground.  

Last Friday’s ANZAC Day service was a meaningful time of reflection for our community, and we thank those who also proudly represented our school at the march on Saturday.  

This week, our Year 6 students are in Canberra, engaging in rich and memorable learning experiences. They are to be commended for the way they are representing our school with respect and enthusiasm throughout the trip.   

Finally, thank you to our parents for your ongoing support, particularly in ensuring correct uniform, punctual arrivals, and safe, considerate parking each day.

ANZAC Day Orchestra and Choir

​What a joy to hear and see our combined Orchestra join together for ANZAC Day Ceremonies at Carbrook. Playing Amazing Grace for the laying of the Wreath, and both the New Zealand and Australian National Anthems, the students showed how team work can achieve great things. Our Orchestra is looking forward to performing for Springwood next week at assembly.
