The first day of school for Term 3 marked an exciting milestone for our community as our brand-new Southern car park officially opened! After six months of construction, we are thrilled to now have 190 additional parking spaces to help ease the flow of drop-off and pick-up times. We give thanks to God for His faithful provision and perfect timing in bringing this project to completion.
I want to take a moment to thank you, our wonderful parent community, for your patience and understanding throughout the building process. Your support and flexibility have made all the difference.
Over the past six months, I’ve had the unexpected joy of taking on car park duty many mornings and afternoons, and I’ve loved it! It’s been a delight watching our students carefully follow road safety rules, confidently use the crossings and even enjoy the fun extras we’ve had along the way, from bubbles and stickers to quirky quiz questions. Their cheerful smiles have made every early morning worth it! Getting to know you as parents is also a joy, and I thank you for making my job a little easier each week.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Steven Letcher, Heinrich Furie and Kat Hernandez, who also gave up their time on top of their regular yard duties to ensure our community was safe out on the road. Behind the scenes, our Daily Organiser, Katherine Patterson, did a wonderful job making sure all yard duties were covered over the six months. Thank you all.
The new car park is already proving to be a success, making drop-off and pick-up smoother and safer. A friendly reminder to continue driving slowly and carefully through the area, especially during peak times.
The new gates are also up and running and open each morning at 8:00am. Thank you for adjusting so quickly to the new gate system, we're grateful for how smoothly the transition has gone.
A reminder that while the gates for Kinder and Prep and on the left-hand side of the Creative Arts Building open at 8:00am, the right-hand side gate (closest to Big Childcare) opens at 6:30am.
If you do have any questions about the gates, please let the Primary Office know.
And finally, a little gift to celebrate! On opening day, we handed out car air fresheners featuring none other than Ziva, our much-loved school dog. If you missed out, feel free to pop into the Primary Office to collect yours.
Once again, thank you for journeying with us. We are truly blessed by God and the strength and unity of our school community.
