2025 Term 1 Week 10 Newsletter
Message from the Principal
Dear Families,
What a fantastic way to wrap up Term 1! Last week, we celebrated the end of a successful term with Super Fun Day, and it was a huge hit with our students. A big thank you to Bush Fit Mob, Bush Medijina, and Connected Beginnings for their support in running engaging programs for our students.
A special thank you also to our families who have generously donated Easter goodies for our Easter Raffle, which will be drawn on Thursday, 17th April, during our Easter Bonnet Parades—we can't wait to see the creative and colourful bonnets on display! Please see the attached flyer for Easter Bonnet Parade details.
This week staff and students wore a splash of blue to raise awareness for Autism Awareness. Autism Awareness Day provided the opportunity to celebrate the strengths, talents, and unique perspectives of individuals on the autism spectrum and we worked to encourage and instil kindness, understanding, and acceptance.
At Alyangula Area School, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and supported. We are pleased to share the school raised $56 that will be donated to Autism Awareness.
As we close out the term, we take a moment to farewell Ms. Rita, who has been a valued member of our support staff. We sincerely appreciate her contributions to our school and students and wish her all the best. We also welcome Ms Tammy who commenced with us as a support staff member last week.
This week, teachers have been engaged in collaborative planning to prepare for Term 2. It is exciting to hear of the meaningful and rigorous learning opportunities that staff are planning for our students. There are a number of public holidays as we head into term 2, so please keep an eye on the school calendar to be informed.
Looking ahead, students from Transition to Year 6 will participate in a two-week intensive swimming program in mid-Term 2, with daily swimming lessons. More information will be shared closer to the date.
A reminder that Term 2 begins on Monday, 14th April. Wishing all our students, staff, and families a safe and restful break—enjoy the one-week holiday, and thank you for a fantastic first quarter of 2025!

The idea is to have a school presence at markets and other community events throughout the year. In addition to raising funds for the school it also provides a great opportunity to be involved in both the school and local community.
