World Teachers’ Day is a day to celebrate and be proud of our teachers. Australia will celebrate and thank the teaching profession on World Teachers’ Day - Friday 30 October.  Teachers (with support from parents and carers) have ensured education continues across the country this year, despite major challenges. It has reinforced the significant role teachers play in the lives of children and students, their families and communities. Friday 30 October provides an opportunity for all of us to thank teachers and celebrate the bright future of teaching.

Thank you to all of our parents and caregivers for continuing to follow the procedures communicated for afternoon dismissal procedures. These procedures are for the safety of our school community. Please remember to be mindful of the traffic waiting to enter the carpark from College Ave. If the line is too long, or is causing traffic issues, please park elsewhere and walk into the carpark to collect your child, or leave the area and come back a few minutes later when the line may have settled. It is important that we don’t disrupt our neighbouring streets, and that we abide by the road rules.

As we experience unusually cool Spring weather, we ask that students continue to wear the full summer uniform rather than a combination of summer and winter.

Finally, I wish to convey to you an update on Mr Dempsey’s recuperation following his surfing accident. He was pleased to discover that surgery will not be required, however he does need to engage in some intense physiotherapy over the coming weeks. We all wish him a thorough recovery so that he can recommence engaging in some of the physical activity that he so enjoys.
