Well it’s is hard to believe we are almost at the end of third term as we enter our final week. It was great to see and hear the Foundation – Grade 2 children return to school last week and we look forward to a final week together as our Grade 3-6 children continue with remote learning. 

The term has certainly been one of mixed emotions and many ups and downs for us all and I would like to thank the many parents who have given us such positive feedback as we work together through these times of lockdown and uncertainty. Well done to the children who have tried hard to remain engaged and worked hard to complete tasks and participate in online learning. Thanks also to our teachers who continue, like many parents, to juggle home and school whilst doing the best for the children in their classes.

In staffing news, I would like to announce that Mrs Jo Thurley has been appointed Deputy Principal Religious Education Leader (DPRE) for the next 3 years. Interviews were completed last week and the Executive Director Mr Paul Desmond has ratified the appointment. I congratulate Jo on her appointment and look forward to working with her into the future. 

Our learning conversations will be held later in Term 4 after we hope everyone has returned to school.

Finally, good luck to all those Demon and Bulldogs supporters as they wait for the grand final. It is such an exciting and fun time for all involved and a time to enjoy - may the best team win. 

Take care everyone, have a safe and restful beak, hopefully we will all be back onsite to begin Term 4.

Paul Wilkinson
Principal
