FROM THE PRINCIPAL - TERM 3, WEEK 8, 2026

Parent Opinion Survey

A communication has been sent via uEducateUs for the 2026 Parent Opinion Survey. We would love to get all families feedback into our school through this yearly survey. Only one survey needs to be completed per family and it should take no longer than 20 minutes. Please see the communication and link provided in uEducateUs.

 

2026 Book Week

A shout out and thanks to Sue for organising another terrific book week last week. It was wonderful to see all the students dressed in amazing outfits, displaying their love of reading. Well done students and families.

 

HDFNL Clean Up

We are taking part in the HDFNL Clean Up again this year, this event is a great fundraiser for our school. This year, the money we receive will go towards the production. The HDFNL Clean Up will take place on Sunday, September 6th at the Huntly Football Grounds from 8-11AM. (If we get plenty of volunteers we can be finished by 10am). If you can come and help clean up the oval with us, we would appreciate it. There is a permission note on uEducateUs, this will be used to let us know if you and the family can help on the day.

 

Production Rehearsals and Nighttime Performance

Rehearsals are tracking positively and the students are doing an amazing job with all their lines. To secure your tickets to the upcoming production, please visit:

150 Year Celebrations

Just a reminder that there is a permission note on uEducateUs that outlines whether your family and child are attending our 150th in Term Four, Sunday October 18th from 10AM-1PM. We want to have our entire school community in attendance so if families could please mark this permission note, that would be great.

Thanks to all the families who have been helping with the jobs for our 150th, it certainly does not go unnoticed.

If you can mulch and weed, please keep in mind that we cannot have mulch within 10 metres of the school, specifically in the raised garden beds where plants have been removed.

We are seeking some helpers to take on the following jobs:

  • Vege patch tidy up- attach chicken wire around the vege patch- the school has the wire ready to go- this can be done between now and term Three holidays.
  • Front (poo) paddock tidy up.
  • Stain ‘N’ Sip the wooden deck- this needs to be done over the Term Three School Holidays, the stain is provided (sips are not).
  • Paint ‘n’ Sip the wooden playground. We have the paints and paint brushes ready to go for whoever takes on this one, like the Stain N Sip, drinks unfortunately are not provided.
  • Old School Building Deep Clean- September School Holidays and again on the whole school working bee.

All audience members need to enter through the foyer; buy a slice on your way through! 

 

PHOTOS and VIDEO

We will have both a photographer and videographer on the night to capture the event so you'll be able to relax and kick back and enjoy the show. 

 

Thank you to my incredible parent production team. There is an epic amount of work being done behind the scenes; I have been so well supported; this production could not have happened without their help. 

 

We're nearly there. Well done everyone. Cannot wait for the big night!!! 

 

Thanks,

Tan
