Secondary Summary
CELEBRATING TERM 3!
What a term it has been! As we wrap up Term 3, I want to recognise and celebrate the many ways our community has grown together in learning, compassion and authentic connection. It has been such a joy to witness the energy and commitment of our students, the dedication of our staff and the wholehearted support of families. The strengthening of bonds across our community has been tangible - students showing real care and respect for one another and our community. The atmosphere of genuine support has been both inspirational and uplifting.
Our Foundation focus this term has been on Compassion and Communicate and I have seen these values shine in classrooms, on the sporting field, in creative pursuits and through acts of service. Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 12:25–27 remind us that we are one body and this term has been a living example of what it means to support and uplift one another.
Highlights from Term 3
This has been a term full of colour, creativity and care. Together, we have:
- Strengthened primary partnerships through Bullying No Way Week and Foundation Day.
- Splashed through our Colour Run fundraiser with joy and laughter.
- Stepped into compassion through the Rosie’s Sleepout, Food Drive and PJ Day, raising awareness and support for the homeless.
- Dived into imagination with our Book Week Parade.
- Experimented, designed and discovered during Science Week.
These moments remind us that learning isn’t only about knowledge - it’s about building relationships, showing kindness and celebrating the gifts God has given us individually and as a community.
