Mr Paul Carter

Welcome back to Term 3. I hope you have had a wonderful school holidays.

This week our staff have engaged in professional learning and planning, had devotions with Tim MacBride – Principal at Morling Theological College, enjoyed breakfast and prayer with local church ministers, and heard from Stephen McAlpine on culture and the Gospel. 

Our Staff Weeks (one at the start of the year, and this week in the middle of the year) are about investing in our staff so they can invest in every student, equipping them for learning, service and purpose, to the glory of God.

I hope and pray that this term is another fruitful one for our students.

Please read the important Term 3 reminders below.

Deputy Principal


Prep – Year 2 Pick Up

Building works are almost underway for our new oval and car park with fences now surrounding the building site. The end-of-school-day pick up area for Prep to Year 2 students has been relocated to the side oval, located on the eastern side of the IRC. Students will continue to line up in year level groups, with our Prep students closest to the IRC and Year 2 students further along. Teachers will continue to ask students to remain seated while they wait for you to arrive. We’ll direct parents with signage this week.
