Principal's Message

Hello Familes,

Well what a fantastic start to learning in our classrooms we have seen over the past fortnight! I have been incredibly impressed by the enthusiasm shown by both our students.
On Wednesday, we had the pleasure of hosting Athletics in the Bush workshops throughout our school. The feedback from these workshops was overwhelmingly positive! Looking ahead, mark your calendars for NT Volleyball next Wednesday, and Tennis on Wednesday in Week 6. A big thanks to BushFit for organising and providing our students with the opportunity to engage in a variety of sports.

Next week, our staff will be participating in Cultural Responsive Training over two days, facilitated by the ALC. To ensure all staff have access to this important training, we will be implementing a supervision model with special activities planned with buddies and across different classes.

What a fun day our Fun Day was today! A huge thanks to GEBIPCAC, Cafe Ruhe, AFL NT and Aminjarinja for their generous support. Special shoutout to the incredible crew from Corrugated Iron and our talented face painter for adding extra fun to the day. A day full of bouncy castles, waterplay, disco's, AFL, Hip Hop and BBQ lunch! Oh, and the SLIME! Our students had the opportunity to vote for the staff member they wanted to slime - well done to Mr Pilko, Ms Abbey and Mr Nolan for being great sports!

On Tuesday evening we have our Meet and Greet sessions scheduled. Notes were distributed to students this week with individual time allocations. These sessions provide a valuable opportunity for you to connect with your child's teachers and establish strong partnerships. If the allocated time is unsuitable for you, please don't hesitate to contact the office so we can make alternative arrangements.

As Easter approaches, we'll be organising an Easter Raffle and calling for donations of Easter eggs and chocolate to put together hamper prizes. Donations can be handed in to the school admin, and every contribution will be greatly appreciated.

I am sure there will be lots of kids that will sleep well tonight! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
