We have had yet another successful year with our children continuing to flourish in academics, sport and the arts. In addition, this year has seen our learning culture continue to strengthen with all 413 of our students using Learning Intentions and Success Criteria to guide their learning whilst building a deeper knowledge of our Learner Qualities, Learning Process and the Learning Pit, and showing evidence that they are able to transfer this knowledge and skills beyond the classroom and into other learning in their lives. Please enjoy the upcoming break with your children. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and the Picnic Point team are looking forward to seeing you all back here, safe and well on Wednesday 30th January 2019! Ben Walsh Principal
