Welcome Back to Term 1, 2025!
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
Welcome back to a brand-new school year! We hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable holiday break, filled with fun, family, and relaxation.
As we begin Term 1 of 2025, we are excited to welcome both new and returning students to our school community. This year promises to be full of opportunities for learning, growth, and connection. Our dedicated staff have been busy preparing engaging lessons, activities, and programs to ensure a positive and enriching experience for all.
We look forward to working together to make this a successful and memorable year. Let’s embrace this new beginning with enthusiasm, positivity, and a shared commitment to making our school the best place to learn and grow.
Best wishes for Term 1,
Class structure for 2025
We are excited to share important news regarding an upcoming enhancement to our educational structure. In response to the evolving needs of our students and growing year group numbers,we will be restructuring and introducing 6 classes for 2025. Every class will be under 25 students.
This decision is rooted in our commitment to providing tailored and enriched learning experiences for each child. Our experienced teaching staff will continue to deliver high-quality instruction, ensuring that every student receives the attention and support they need. This approach enables us to create a dynamic learning atmosphere that promotes collaboration, critical thinking, and a sense of community.
We believe that this adjustment will contribute positively to the overall academic and social development of our students. We are dedicated to ensuring a smooth transition and are available to address any questions or concerns you may have.
