Newsletter, Week 4, Term 4, 2026
Dear Families
Welcome to Week 4! November traditionally marks the beginning of a very busy few weeks as we charge towards the end of the school year. There are a range of events happening (almost weekly) within our school community. We warmly extend an invite to you all to come along and share these celebrations with us. Please see, “Important Dates, Term 4, 2026” below.
Celebrating World Teachers’ Day
Last week, we celebrated World Teachers’ Day and recognised the dedication, passion, and hard work of our incredible teachers and support staff. The day provided an opportunity to acknowledge the important role our educators play in supporting students’ learning, wellbeing, and growth. Staff were celebrated for their ongoing commitment to creating engaging learning experiences and fostering positive relationships with students. World Teachers’ Day was a chance to reflect on the difference our teachers make every day through their care, expertise, and encouragement. Their dedication helps create a positive and supportive learning environment where all students can thrive. We extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to all of our teachers and support staff for the valuable contribution they make to our school each day. Our students created a lovely video showing their appreciation of their teachers, you can view it here.
Children’s University Graduation
On Tuesday, 3 November, a group of our students proudly graduated from the Children’s University Program at a special ceremony held at the University of Adelaide City Campus. The students worked diligently throughout the year to achieve this wonderful milestone, participating in a range of learning experiences and activities beyond the classroom. Their commitment, enthusiasm, and dedication to learning were recognised during the graduation ceremony, where they were presented with certificates celebrating their achievements. Dressed in graduation gowns and caps, the students enjoyed the memorable occasion alongside their families and teachers. It was a proud moment as they crossed the stage to receive their awards and celebrate the hard work they had invested in their learning journey.
We congratulate all of our Children’s University graduates on this outstanding achievement and look forward to seeing them continue to embrace new learning opportunities in the future. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and success. We thank Ms Kathy Keough for supporting these students. Check out some lovely photos below.
2027 and beyond
Thank you to all families who have returned their 2027 intention and updated details forms. If you haven’t yet submitted yours, we kindly ask that you do so as soon as possible. Our staff are currently reviewing class placements and preparing for smooth, positive transitions into 2027. We invest significant time and care into creating balanced class structures, taking many factors into consideration.
Reception Enrolments for 2027
Do you have a child ready to start school in 2027? Reception enrolments are still open, with some places available for both Term 1 and Term 3, 2027. Please contact our Front Office for enrolment information.
Children already enrolled to commence Reception in Term 1, 2027 will begin their transition visits in Week 6 this term, providing an opportunity to become familiar with school and begin getting to know their educators and peers. We look forward to welcoming our newest students and families to our school community!
As we head into a busy few weeks we thank you for your patience and kindness. It is the time of year where students can get tired and need our support to stay focussed. We welcome conversation about your child’s well being and how we can best support them as we round out 2026 and start preparing for our transition into the new school year.
Shaping our future together,
Belinda Bennett
