From the Primary School

As we begin a new school year, I extend a very warm welcome to our entire Primary School community. I hope the holiday break provided time for rest, connection, and enjoyment with family and friends. A special welcome is extended to the girls and families who are joining us at SCEGGS for the first time. We hope you feel supported as you settle into school life, and we encourage you to reach out at any time if you have questions or require assistance in the weeks ahead.

We are delighted to welcome several new members to our Primary teaching team this year. Further information about our staff can be found in the Who’s Who at SCEGGS section of the newsletter, included in Ms Gyton’s article.

We look forward to welcoming parents to our upcoming Parent Information Evenings in Weeks 2 and 3. These evenings are designed for all parents of girls from Kindergarten to Year 6 and provide an opportunity to hear directly from your daughter’s teachers about classroom programs, key activities for the year, and ways to support learning at home. The sessions will be held in the girls’ allocated classrooms. Prior to the sessions, parents are warmly invited to join us for informal drinks in the Primary Playground, offering a chance to connect with one another and begin the year in a relaxed and positive way.

The Joan Freeman Carpark will be available for parking from 5.15pm and will close promptly at 9pm.

Entry to the carpark is via St Peters Street, accessed from Forbes Street.

We warmly encourage you to join us for these evenings, to meet our wonderful Primary teaching team and to hear more about the rich and engaging learning experiences planned for the year ahead.
