** Principal Update **
This week, I am particularly delighted to announce the opening of our new nature playground. This innovative space has been designed to encourage exploration and creativity, providing a safe and stimulating environment for all students. The nature playground includes various elements such as:
- Balancing structures made from natural materials
- A space for sensory gardens filled with vibrant plants and flowers
- A water feature for interactive play, including a beautiful river rock bed – this is proving to be very popular!!!
- An outdoor learning space for teachers to take their students out of the classroom to learn.
We believe that this playground will not only be a place for play but also a tool for education, teaching students about environmental stewardship and the wonders of nature.
I would also like to take a moment to appreciate our students who wear their full school uniform every day. Wearing a uniform is a symbol of pride and unity, reflecting our school's values and the diverse community we represent. It fosters a sense of belonging and equality among all our students, reinforcing the notion that we are all part of one big team.
I would also like to invite our families to our next P & C Meeting, to be held on the 19th February from 3:00 to 4:00pm in the P and C block. Everyone is welcome!
Thank you,
Robyn Marshall

Is your child on the waitlist to see a Paediatrician at Logan Hospital?
They may be able to be seen at FamilyLinQ instead.
Paediatric Services, Logan Hospital have started seeing children for booked appointments at FamiyLinQ. Paediatricians can see children aged up to 16 years with a referral from a doctor. Not all conditions are suitable to be managed in the hub, some children will still need to be seen at the hospital. If you think your child is on the waitlist to see a Paediatrician at Logan Hospital ask Beth at the FamilyLinQ for more details.

The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is a literacy and numeracy assessment that students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 sit each year. NAPLAN assesses the literacy and numeracy skills that students are learning through the school curriculum and allows parents/carers to see how their child is progressing against national proficiency standards. NAPLAN will commence on 12 March 2025, in Term 1. Visit nap.edu.au for more information.
