Head of Primary
Mrs Amanda Rutlidge | Head of Primary
Welcome!
I’d like to extend a very warm welcome to our returning students and their families as well as new families who are joining our community this year. I pray that 2025 is a wonderful year of learning and growing in the knowledge of Jesus’ abounding love for us.
School is dynamic place of learning and developing for our students, and our teachers are always striving to provide the best opportunities possible for children to experience the world that God has created. Educating children is an exciting journey that we partner together with on for many years and we are thankful for the privilege of seeing what God’s plan is for each child as they grow into young adults.
However, that journey is often bumpy! There will be times when your children are unhappy, worried, having friendship issues, or difficulty controlling their emotions just to name a few of those bumps. Let me reassure you that this is ok! Our children need to experience these things to build resilience and confidence in who they are as a human being, and this is where we walk that journey together.
I look forward to seeing each of our students continue to grow into the person God created them to be.
A few start of the year reminders….
Uniform
- Please remember that boys need to wear the grey, red and white socks purchased from the uniform shop with their formal uniform. White socks are for sport days only.
- The only outer garment to be worn with the formal uniform is the soft shell jacket. Either the sports jacket or soft shell jacket may be worn with the sports uniform
- Please label all clothing, including shorts, skorts and shirts.
Kiss & Drop Zones
There are two Kiss and Drop Areas at school. Please be very cautious and vigilant in these areas to ensure the safety of our students. When dropping children off in the morning, make sure you can see your children have moved away from the vehicle before driving off.
Crunch & Sip
A small change to our day this year is renaming fruit break to ‘Crunch & Sip’. This is a government health initiative which you can read about here: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/heal/schools/Pages/crunch-and-sip.aspx
Student Of The Week Awards
Please note that this year GOLD Awards will be now presented each Friday morning at assembly unless otherwise communicated in the Pastoral Care Entry.
