It was wonderful to welcome all our students back to school on Monday 25 May. The teachers were very pleased to resume face-to-face teaching and enjoyed seeing their students’ smiling faces as they returned to school.

Semester 1 student reports Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, New South Wales public schools will be providing parents/carers with a simplified report template for Semester 1 reports. This simplified version does not contain the usual grading system used in previous reports. The temporary removal of the usual grading system is a decision of the Department of Education and not individual schools.
Semester 1 student reports will be sent home to families on Tuesday 30 June.
I wish everyone a safe two weeks ahead.
Take care
