Junior School, Term 1 Week 5 2026
There is an opportunity for all families to discuss their child’s progress on March 10 and 18, at our Term 1 Learning Conferences. This is an important opportunity to strengthen the relationship between the school and the home and ensure that lines of communication are open and clear. I urge all families to take advantage of these dates. This year specialist teachers are also available for conversations.
School Access
Every morning classroom teachers are available between 8.15am and 8.30am Teachers use the time prior to 8.15am to finalise preparation for the day ahead. Please note two other important issues about school access and child safety
- Parents wanting to access the school grounds (apart from normal drop off and pick up times) must sign in through Allan Wheaton House.
- If children are dropped to school in the morning and are unsupervised, they will be taken to OSHC to be properly supervised. Children remaining at the school gates or on school grounds after yard duties conclude at the end of the day, will also be taken to OSHC.
Junior School Sports Day
The Junior School Sports Day will take place on Friday March 6 in the South Parklands from 8.45am-12.30pm. We would love to see as many join us on the day as possible. There are some small tweaks to the program this year, including our R-2 children being involved for the whole program and some fun new events for the younger children.
Last Friday we had the privilege of formally inducting our new Junior School Leaders. This significant occasion marked the beginning of an important chapter of service and responsibility for these students, who have consistently demonstrated commendable character, dedication, and a genuine commitment to our school values.
Junior School leadership carries with it both honour and responsibility. Our newly inducted leaders are entrusted with setting a positive example, supporting their peers, and contributing thoughtfully to the life of the school. We extend our sincere congratulations to each of them and look forward with confidence to the meaningful contributions they will make in the year ahead.
