Head of Junior School Springwood - Andy Marshall

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

This week, our Year 4 students are currently enjoying their exciting camp experience, while our Year 5 students eagerly prepare for their own camp next week. Camps provide such valuable opportunities for students to grow in confidence, resilience, independence, teamwork, and friendships as they step outside of their normal routines and challenge themselves in new environments. As a school community, we will continue praying for safe travels, joyful experiences, courage to try new things, and for God’s hand of protection and guidance over everyone involved.  

 

We also have many exciting events coming up across the campus, with both Under 8’s Day and The Wiz Musical taking place next week, and the next round of College Leader applications due, Friday 22 May, and in the following we have our Stage 2 & 3 Athletics Carnival.

 

Information about these events and opportunities can be found within this communication.
