Celebrating Australian Primary Principals' Day
Today we say a big thank you to our wonderful Principal - Mr Blackford, and Deputy Principal - Mrs Burgiel, on Australian Primary Principals' Day!

Their care for students, staff, and families creates a welcoming and positive environment for learning and growing each day.
