It has been wonderful to finally have Kindergarten move into their new classrooms

The children and teachers are very excited and are really enjoying their new learning spaces and playground. The design means that the children can move easily between the classes, the spaces can be opened up and the large folding doors add another dimension to the space. The move has also allowed Year 1 to come up to R block which means that Kinder, Year 1 and Year 2 are close together. Year 3 are also excited about their new block, for the first time Year 3 have their classrooms together and have a central meeting space. Well done to the teachers, support staff, maintenance team and the children for making a seamless transition into the new spaces.

The end of term is fast approaching and it is time to farewell two of our teaching team who are going on maternity leave. Mrs Scipione is preparing for the birth of her second child while Mrs Patterson is expecting her first. We wish them both well as they enter this exciting stage of their lives and welcome new additions to their families. We welcome Miss Johanna Latty to the College, she will be joining us to take over 2P from next term.

Easter this year falls in the holidays but that does not stop our College from remembering the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us and rose again so that we may have eternal life. We will be having our annual Easter Hat Parade Thursday 11 April for Prep to Year 4 and the Easter Eggshibition for Years 5 & 6, an event not to be missed! The children will then participate in our Easter assemblies where they will learn more about the sacrifice made for us by Jesus on that first Easter. I would encourage all our families to stop and reflect this Easter and, if possible, attend a service to hear more about what Jesus has done for each of us.

I pray that all our families will have a safe and happy holiday and spend some special time together as a family.
