A MESSAGE FROM MR CHRIS DROWLEY
I hope that you enjoyed Easter and the holiday break which gifted us with some great weather, allowing Summer to feel like it lasted a little longer
It has been so lovely to see the students back at school and to hear the excited chatter as they reunite with their friends. The teachers will also enjoy a time of friendship and drawing closer to God as we set out on our annual staff retreat tomorrow Camp Australia will be onsite
to offer full-day care for any primary families who require supervision for their children
We congratulate Mrs Rebecca Matthews for her first week at Northside. I trust that she will develop a great rapport with her new class.
Next week will be a full week of learning and we look forward to getting back into routine again
