Principal & Specialist Awards

Foundation 100 Days of School
We encourage students to come dressed in a costume and will be holding a parade on the basketball court at 9am.
Suggestions for a costume are:
• 100 years old
• 100 days brighter
• 100 objects
After the parade, you're invited to join your child in their classroom to participate in fun activities until 10.30am. It's a wonderful opportunity to engage in creative projects together and celebrate this special milestone.
We are looking forward to celebrating a great start to your child’s schooling!

Bike Ed
Exciting News – Bike Education Program Coming Soon!
Following recent staff training, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our Bike Education Program for our year 6 students! This engaging and practical program is designed to teach children the skills they need to ride safely, confidently, and responsibly in their communities.
The program will focus on:
- Building basic riding and bike-handling skills
- Developing road safety awareness and understanding traffic rules
- Promoting the use of helmets and safety gear
- Encouraging physical activity and independence
Bike Ed is a fantastic opportunity for students to develop lifelong skills while having fun and being active outdoors. Our trained staff are excited to guide students through a series of sessions that will progressively build their competence and confidence.
Being in our first year of implementation, we acknowledge that we are in need of some essential equipment to make this opportunity possible for ALL of our students.
In particular we are on the lookout for the following items to make this program possible.
- Second hand bicycles - preferably bikes with gears.
- Helmets, bikes, pumps or safety gear.
- Puncture repair kits, basic tools and maintenance equipment
- Parent and Community support in volunteers to join local rides, provide bike checks and minor repairs.
- Donations to support the purchase of required equipment
We would love you to get in contact to discuss ways in which you may be able to support the program.
