Prep Circular - 24 January 2025

Dear parents, the start of a new year always brings a buzz of excitement, and it was wonderful to hear the joyful sounds of children around the school once again. Even the much-needed rain on our first day could not dampen spirits, though it was a shame we could not go ahead with the afternoon extra-mural program. Nevertheless, the Grade 4-7 pupils wasted no time diving into the term with their one-night Orientation camps. These adventures down the valley, through Lily Pad Pond, and up to Donaldson’s Barn are more than just hikes—they are opportunities for team building, fun, and friendship. Watching them return, tired but smiling, reminds us why this traditional camp is so special.

The year-end has brought with it wonderful celebratory moments – from our sports and music awards to academic achievements ceremonies, the Pre-Primary graduation, Christmas party and concert.
