As we approach the final weeks of Term 4, there is a wonderful sense of celebration and anticipation across Primary. Our calendar is full of special moments, including presentation events and end-of-year gatherings, which reflect the learning, growth and friendships developed throughout the year. We also recognise that this season can become particularly busy for families, with weeknights and weekends filling quickly with rehearsals, Christmas events, family commitments and other celebrations.

 

While these occasions bring excitement and joy, they can also make the weeks ahead feel particularly full for students and families alike. It’s a busy season, and children may experience a mix of emotions, such as pride in their achievements, sadness about farewelling their current class, and curiosity about what next year will bring.

 

At school, we are intentional in helping students finish the year well. Teachers are guiding reflective conversations in classrooms, celebrating milestones, and encouraging gratitude for the experiences and people who have shaped the year. Alongside this, our focus remains firmly on academic learning. Students are revising key content from throughout the year, consolidating their understanding, and gaining small glimpses into the learning that awaits them in the next stage of their schooling.

 

If you notice your child is feeling especially tired or out of routine during these final weeks, please keep their teacher in the loop. A quick message or conversation helps us provide the right support and ensures your child feels settled and confident. Families can also support this at home by maintaining regular routines where possible, celebrating your child’s progress, and talking positively about the transition to a new year and new opportunities.

 

We look forward to welcoming our families to the following events:
