Kinder Orientation
On Wednesday of this week we had the first of our Kinder Orientation Days. With enrolments sky high for 2020 the day started with excitement, joy and lots of people!! The students settled in particularly well while parents and carers headed to the Hall to get to know one another and begin an exploration and understanding of our exceptional school. I shared one of my favourite quotes with the new parents and wanted to take this opportunity to share it with you.
We look forward to next week as we continue our journey together.
It’s the Perryman Pass
The Perryman Pass continues to grow, I have not yet reached my goal so certainly need to remain focussed. Often when a goal is set there is an initial enthusiasm and energy that wavers after a period of time. This is where persistence and resilience needs to kick in. So with that in mind
I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MORE OF YOUR CHILDREN NEXT WEEK!!

Dear Parents and Carers,
This week Lacey Rees and Chantelle Dixon-Stewart organised to re-plant a garden bed near the front office. Some of our students worked hard on the shovels and planted some bush food and medicine plants that we are hoping to use in the future for cooking classes.
