Head of School, Michelle Sprenger

As we reach the midpoint of Term 1, it is wonderful to see our students embracing our behaviour expectations: Be Kind, Be Fair, Be Your Best Self. In this week’s assembly, our College Counsellor, Mrs Stone, delivered an inspiring message on Be Kind, reminding us that kindness is contagious and should be spread like confetti! Her message concluded with a joyful sprinkle of confetti, encouraging students to uplift others. Thank you for reinforcing our values at home. We look forward to celebrating Grandparents’ Day on Friday, blessing them with breakfast, a concert, and classroom visits - offering a glimpse into our vibrant learning community. 

Carpark/Lower Playground

Just a reminder to parents that the lower carpark (Kingdom Kids) is for parents of children accessing Kingdom Kids only. Parents who have children in Prep or other stages in the school must use the school-preferred parking areas; church or Dennis Rd.

For eligible families, Kingdom Kids parking is short term only. Please park, drop off or pick up your child to/from the centre and leave within a 15-minute timeframe, to enable other parents to also use the parking spaces in this way.

Several parents are gathering at the lower playground in the mornings and afternoons. Please be reminded that these play areas are for school supervision only. As the duty of care for all who are on campus lies with the College, children are not to be playing in any playground area unless a school staff member is on duty, even if parents are there.
