Friday Flash Week 8 - 22nd of November, 2024
From the Principal
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
This week, we are filled with pride for the incredible achievements of our students. On Wednesday, we hosted a spectacular Music Concert, with our talented music groups giving their final performance for the year. It truly was the best concert I’ve had the privilege of attending!
Adding to the excitement, one of our school leaders performed a stunning solo on parade today. The audience—our amazing students—were the most supportive and enthusiastic crowd, making it a truly special moment.
As we wrap up assessments, we are focusing on growing our students’ learning assets in class. Students will engage in mini units and participate in end-of-year festivities. Christmas activities will finish end of Week 10, and in Week 11 we will do a week long mini unit called "Going Green for Ecomarines" focused on the environment and sustainability. Please remember to check the school calendar regularly to ensure you don’t miss out on the exciting events we have planned!
Snow Glow Disco
We are thrilled to host our first-ever Snow Glow Disco on Thursday night in the Hangar.
- Prep to Year 3 Students: We kindly ask parents to stay and supervise their children during the event.
- Years 4 to 6 Students: Parents may drop off their children and return to collect them at the end of the disco. Students must be picked up from the Hangar area.
Don’t forget to bring some money along to enjoy the fantastic raffles that will be drawn during the evening. It’s sure to be a night to remember!

This Friday marks our Transition Day, an exciting opportunity for students to prepare for the year ahead.
- Our Year 6 students will visit their high schools.
- Our Amberley District State School students will meet their 2025 teachers and classmates, setting the stage for a great start to next year.

Kelli Harvey
