Dear Parents, Caregivers and Children,

While the success of a Sports Day like yesterday is not the complete measure of a school and its culture it is one lens where you are able to observe, appreciate and be involved in it. 

Yesterday's Athletics Day simulated just that. Firstly, our children. They were spot on. Their effort, courage and spirit towards each other really showed the wonderful character that sits within them. As as a staff we were all really proud with how they embraced the day. Secondly, our families and supporters. From where I was I only heard positive messages from the sideline, providing the boost our children needed or encouragement to pick them up, the pitch of the messaging was encouraging.

Our PTA once again supported the refuelling of our children and showcased the real unity they have. The gluttony of baking which many mums (maybe some dads....) provided shows the connect our community have with providing for our children.

Finally, our staff. The energy, effort and joy they have for seeing the children experience challenge and success is exactly what we are after when trying to nurture and grow wonderful young people, which essentially is our core purpose. 

Thank you for all those that were able to make it yesterday and well done to all our children who competed with purpose and a smile.

Warm Regards
