Head of Community & Wellbeing, Springwood Junior School - Andy Marshall

Dear Parents and Carers,

It’s been another busy week on our Springwood Campus, filled with sunshine, learning, and plenty of smiling faces! The energy around the school has been wonderful, with students embracing every opportunity to grow, create, and connect.

This week, our Stage 3 students enjoyed a Raw Art incursion, where they were able to express their creativity and imagination through hands-on artistic experiences. It was fantastic to see their enthusiasm as they explored new techniques and produced such unique, colourful pieces of work.

We also came together for the Year 6 Final Chapel on Wednesday. It was a truly special time to celebrate and give thanks to God for His blessings and guidance throughout the year. It was a moment to rejoice in the gifts He has given each of our Year 6 students and to reflect on the growth and joy they have shared within our community. What a blessing it was to see so many families and staff join us in worship and celebration.

As we move into the final three weeks of term, we have many exciting events ahead. Please stay up to date with what’s on by visiting:
