We have had the most incredible time in Foundation this year. The Foundation teachers are so honoured to be a part of such a special year of school. We have learnt, laughed and grown all together – building memories to last a lifetime!

We encourage you to reflect at home and talk about such questions as:
- What is something you did this year that you think you will remember for the rest of your life?
- What is something that was hard for you at the start of the year but is easy now?
- What is something you accomplished this year that you are proud of?
- What was the nicest thing someone in our class did for you this year?
Students have been very considerate of the less fortunate, especially over the holiday season and have generously donated to the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal. Teachers are very appreciative of how generous our students and families have been with donations. Students have shown a great deal of maturity and understanding during the collection of toys and gifts and teachers are so proud of them. We can tell the students feel good about giving back to the community too!
Have a look at Mrs Crundall placing all of our presents under the Wishing Tree!
Thank you for a wonderful year! We wish all students every success in the years to come!
