GOOD BYE!

As you know, this year is my last year as Principal of our wonderful school. 

I extend to each and every family my love and gratitude for your support, trust and your many contributions to make this school such a wonderfully loving, inclusive and friendly place of learning. 

I am so proud of our team.  Everyone here on staff and every volunteer who comes to our school makes a positive difference to the lives and learning of our children. 

I feel so grateful to have had the privilege to serve this community for over 20 years.  It indeed has been an honour to get to know your families and to support your children to be their personal best.

Thank you especially to our children who bring the joy to our days. 

I will miss you all.

HELLO

Your new Principal is Mrs Michelle DePaoli.  She is an experienced Principal who is excited to join our lovely school.

Michelle has met many of our children and is so looking forward to getting to know you and your families.

I know you will make her welcome.

With a little sadness but a whole lot of gratitude and love I wish you all a wonderful carefree and relaxing festive season for the final time.

Wow - Willy Wonka came to life on the stage at Taroona High in early December.  What an exciting time for selected students from our upper grades!

The performance was magical and professional and we were all impressed by the trip into pure imagination. The performance cleverly blended old and new and we had a great time singing along to some of our favourite songs

What a wonderful year we have had in our exciting and stimulating LiL sessions. Our Launching into Learning program is one of the most successful in the state and our LiL team have such fun each week, making all our families welcome and ensuring that each session is filled with great learning experiences for young and old alike. You are never to old to learn something new!!

We celebrated the end of this great year in style with our usual end of year activities and even a visit from a jolly fat man in red. 

We hope to see you all back again next year.

Each year grade 5-6 students are chosen to lead Daily PE sessions for classes throughout the school.

It has been a pleasure to work with this group of students throughout the year. Their positive and willing attitude to give everything a go has not gone unnoticed. Each and every Daily PE Leader has shown leadership qualities when working with their students every morning. Their problem-solving skills were tested each time the weather did not allow for outside activity with creative thinking providing fun activites that kept the groups on the move. They showed great group control and made sure everyone felt included and ensured each and every student was able to participate. They greeted their group with their bubbly and smiley faces every morning.

To celebrate their year, Daily PE Leaders were treated to a climbing experience at Rock it Climbing Centre. Students participated in auto belay climbs and cave like tunnel experiences. Students’ skills and comfort zones were tested with the height of the climbs and the darkness of the tunnels. All students walked away from the excursion with a smile and a sense of achievement. Overall the day was a great way to celebrate their amazing work as Daily PE Leaders and reflect on their hard work and dedication to their role.

I wish the best for all students next year whether they are moving to high school or stepping up into their final year at primary school.
