Dear Ripley Valley Families,

Welcome back to all our students and families for the start of Semester 2! I hope you had a restful and enjoyable break and are feeling refreshed and ready for the exciting term ahead. A special welcome to the new families who have joined our school community this term — we’re thrilled to have you with us and look forward to getting to know you.

As always, our focus remains on creating a safe, inclusive, and inspiring learning environment for every student. Semester 2 brings new opportunities for growth, achievement, and connection, and we’re excited to support our students in reaching their goals.

I’d also like to provide an update on our school building works. The next stage of our build is progressing well and is expected to be completed in early 2026. As part of this development, work will begin on a second drop-off area to help improve traffic flow and safety during peak times.

Important Notice: From 15 August, half of the front car park and the whole drop-off zone will be fenced off to allow construction to begin. This area will be unavailable for the remainder of the term, with the new drop-off zone scheduled to open at the start of next term.

We encourage all parents and carers to begin discussing and planning alternative pick-up and drop-off arrangements for the second half of the term. Your cooperation and flexibility during this time are greatly appreciated as we work to enhance our facilities for the future.

An image showing the fenced-off area (marked in blue) has been provided to assist with planning.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Let’s make this term a great one!

Yours Sincerely,  

Brendan Krueger

Foundation Principal
