Dear Parents,

Next week, our rehearsals and preparations are in full swing as we ready ourselves for the Christmas Lunch, Carols Services, Swimming Carnival, Valedictory Service and Prize Giving.

Next Thursday, we welcome 2024 new students in Years 1-6 to join our current classes as they experience ‘Moving Up’ morning. Along with our current Year 2 parents, 2024 new parents will join us for a Parent Information Session about next year.

What an outstanding job our Year 2 and Year 3 students did at their recent instrumentalist concerts. Ably guided by their extraordinary tutors under the leadership of Martyn Hentschel and Chris Hayles, the concerts showcased the impressive growth of our students in performance and musicality.

We look forward to attending the Opening of Curating Cranbrook tomorrow evening. The exhibition is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate some of the wonderful artwork created by students from Kindergarten to Year 12. Thank you to Rebecca Armstrong, Ann Arora, Christian Bonett and Bek Roe who have together prepared the contributions from Junior School.

Current Email Address & JS Office Holiday Closure
As we head towards the end of the year, it is most important that the School has your up-to-date email address details on our database. If your address has changed recently, please email familyupdates@cranbrook.nsw.edu.au, so these details can be updated before reports, class allocations and start of year information are sent out.

Please remember that the Junior School Office is closed over the holiday period from 14 December 2023 until 23 January 2024.

Reports, Class Allocations and Start of Term Information
Parents are reminded that their son’s 2023 Semester 2 report, 2024 class allocation and information about the start of 2023 will be sent home via email during the holidays.
