Dear Parents & Carers, 

As we reach the midpoint of Term 2, I want to take a moment to highlight two key themes that are essential for student success: attendance and perseverance.

Regular school attendance lays the foundation for academic progress and personal growth. Everyday matters—each lesson builds on the last, and when students are present, they are not only learning content but also developing important routines and relationships that support their overall wellbeing.

We also acknowledge that many students are now entering a busy period of assessments. This can be a time of pressure, but it is also a chance for students to demonstrate what they’ve learned and how far they’ve come. I encourage all our students to approach these assessments with determination and to remember that effort and persistence are just as important as natural ability. Learning how to face challenges, stay focused, and keep going—even when things feel tough—is a skill that will serve them well beyond the classroom.

To our students: stay organised, ask for help when you need it, and believe in your ability to improve and succeed. To our families: thank you for the vital role you play in supporting consistent attendance and a positive mindset at home.

Let’s continue to work together to make this a productive and rewarding term for all.

Yours Sincerely,  

Brendan Krueger

Foundation Principal
