Stay and Play
The last day of Term 3 ended on a high with our annual Stay and Play. This event is initiated by the Junior School Student Council (JSSC). It raises funds that support student life at the School. Funds go towards the Junior School such as sports equipment and play equipment. Thank you to everyone who supported this event.
Please read the full story in the newsletter here.
I trust you received my Welcome to Term 4 email. Thank you for having your daughter looking her best in her full school Summer uniform, including her School hat. As I welcomed the girls arriving at the Junior School red carpet, I was greeted with smiles and squeals of delight. The parents also had big smiles across their faces!
Wishing our Year 12 students the very best in their HSC and IB exams.

Process if my daughter is late to School
Thank you for having your daughter arrive at School on time each day. It is important that each girl has a calm start and not miss any of her Mathematics or English lesson, which commence straight away.
There are circumstances beyond your control when you may arrive late. (Arriving late is after 8.15am for Year 6, after 8.30am for Kindergarten to Year 5, after 9am for Pre-Kindergarten). The School has a legal requirement that you must sign your daughter into School and explain the reason for the partial absence. Please come to Junior School Reception if arriving late. Year 6 families may also opt to go to the Studies Office.
Kindergarten and Year One Adventure Camp
We will wish our Kindergarten and Year 1 girls a fun day when they head off to their day Adventure ‘Camp’ next Tuesday 17 October 2023. We look forward to hearing all about their fun activities outdoors.
Pre-Kindergarten Parent Workshop – Session 2
A reminder that our second and final session for a parent workshop ‘Switching On For Learning’ is on next Wednesday 18 October 2023 from 9am to 10.30am. I look forward to seeing our Pre-Kindergarten parents and carers at our meeting place, the Junior School canteen, where we can enjoy a coffee before our final session of ‘Switching On For Learning’.
Year 3 Parents – Save the date
On Thursday 26 October 2023 at 6pm there will be a webinar about your daughter’s iPad for Year 4. Thank you for noting this time – more details will be forthcoming.
Kindergarten to Year 2 Splash Day
To celebrate the end of our intensive swimming program, our Kindergarten to Year 2 girls will be having a wonderful time at our Aquatic Centre next Friday 20 October 2023. Splash Day will commence at approximately 11.30am and conclude at 2.30pm. Girls may be dismissed early from the red carpet at the Junior School. Please do NOT order your daughter’s lunch from the canteen on this day. The girls will be having lunch early and bringing their morning tea to the Aquatic Centre.
Girls will be wearing their House colour top.
Parents, grandparents and carers are most welcome to watch from the viewing deck. I look forward to seeing you there and do not forget to support your daughter’s House by wearing the correct colour!
