What a Fete! 

A huge congratulations to our whole school community on a fantastic Freshie Fete. The atmosphere was electric, the smiles were everywhere, and the sense of community spirit was on full display. Thank you to every volunteer—from set-up and pack-down crews to stall convenors, bakers, runners, performers, and everyone in between. This event truly was a community effort and we are so grateful for your time, energy, and heart.

Uniform Shop—Welcome, Cassie! 

We are excited to welcome Cassie as our new Uniform Shop Coordinator. Cassie is already settling into the role and looks forward to supporting families with all their uniform needs.

At the same time, we say a big thank you to Kyla for her wonderful contribution in the Uniform Shop. While we’ll miss her in that space, we’re delighted she has chosen to return to her passion—working with the children at OSHC—so you will still be seeing her around the school.

Special Fete Shout-Out: Cassie & Sarah

A huge thank you goes to Cassie and Sarah for their incredible efforts in coordinating this year’s Freshie Fete. The event was a huge success, bringing our school and community together for a day of fun, food, and fundraising. We are so grateful for their dedication, organisation, and countless hours of work that made it all possible. Thanks to their hard work, along with the support of our amazing volunteers, we cracked $20,000 in profits—$4,000 more than last year. What an achievement!
