Dear Parents and Carers,
This week we held our final assembly for Term 1, where we celebrated our student leaders—congratulating those appointed and commending all who applied. A special moment saw parents pinning badges, signifying the vital home–school partnerships in growing future leaders. Mrs Winton shared an inspiring address on Being Your Best Self, encouraging students to activate the science behind holding an open posture and speaking affirmations aloud—it was powerful!
Next Thursday is the 10th birthday of Happy Hens—we hope to see many of you at this exciting celebration. With one week to go, let’s finish strong — striving to be our best self, showing kindness, and living out our Calvary values in all we do.
