Term 2 is full of many amazing opportunities for our YP to challenge and engage in their leaning. We hope each YP decides to continue to cross the line of opportunity and go outside of their comfort zone. It is important for YP to remember that not everything in life is what we want to do, but by taking on a challenge we grow as a person. You may have heard about our... Gotcha awards - this term we are celebrating when YP are really demonstrating the principles (Honesty, Respect, Participation and being Safe and Legal) in our community. At the end of each day staff shout out to YP who have demonstrated these principles and had a positive influence on our community. It is lovely to see how much our YP love being caught doing the right thing and just how many YP are receiving Gotcha awards. Keep up this amazing work. This term we would like to trial an opportunity for Parents to gather as a community. We would like to offer the first of these gatherings on Friday 13th May. We will meet at the front gate at 10 am and we would love to offer you a cup of tea/biscuit and the opportunity to talk to other parents in our community. The meeting will conclude at 11am. It is open space so whoever turns up is most welcome, the aim is for parents to have an opportunity to support each other in our community. If your son/daughter is in Year 7 or Year 9 Naplan testing is coming up you will receive a letter detailing dates.
