TERM 4

Welcome back to Term 4. I hope everyone had a great break and really enjoyed the sensational weather! This term is always a busy one and we are all excited planning for our Briar Road ‘Backyard Bash’. More information will be given to children in the next coming days. There will be rides, showbags and choco-late wheels etc.

2013

Yesterday I sent a letter home to everyone letting you know that I will be finish-ing up as Principal of Briar Road at the end of this year. I will be very sad to leave and have enjoyed my time here immensely. I will keep you informed of any developments regarding my replacement over the coming term.

Arrival to School

Just a reminder to all. Teachers are supervising students from 8:40am in the mornings. Please do not send your child to school any earlier than that as they will not be supervised.

Y6 /Whole School Photos

All students will need to be in their Briar Rd School uniform on this day, not sport uniform and bring your biggest smiles.
