‘Nothing but the best’ - Be Safe. Be Respectful. Be Responsible Page | 1

Dear Parents and Carers On behalf of the staff I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope you have a lovely holiday with your loved ones. This year has been particularly difficult for all and I thank each and every one of you for the support and understanding you have given us during this time. It has been an absolute pleasure watching your children learn and grow throughout the year and it will certainly be one we never forget. I hope 2021 brings us a more settled time where we can welcome you all back onto the school grounds. Thank you for the kind words said about our Presentation Day recording despite the technical issues at first and we have now (after many hours) managed to get it to you through School Stream. We know that a recording of Presentation Day was not ideal, rather than attending in person, however we hope that by accessing the recording you will be able to share these memories forever with your children. Please enjoy the photos also captured on the day. To the Year 6 students, I wish you all the very best for High School. It has been wonderful to get to know you over the past 18 months and look forward to hearing about your future endeavours. On behalf of the staff, farewell and good luck as they have watched you over the past seven years with great pride. We hoped you had fun at your farewell and the different events that were planned especially

The Qwest futsal team has been playing every Monday for the past 8 weeks. The team included Anthony, Ambrose, Alex, Harry Brydie, Kaleigh and Ruby. We played 8 games unfortunately we didn’t win any we’ve had a great time playing and being taught the rules of futsal. Some games were tough, we took each loss but came back every week smiling to have another go. Anthony received the coach award for best all-rounder as he played goalie rotating out with Alex and Ambrose. Ambrose also received an award for excellent team coordinating, encouraging and sharing his knowledge of the rules everyone. Kaleigh won 2 novelty events with best crazy sock and best dance competitions. Brydie and Harry both won best crazy hair. Alex and Harry placed some excellent goals and each player assisted with at least one goal each across the competition. Ruby played each game with enthusiasm and marked up players at every opportunity. The team had fantastic sportsmen’s ship and followed the Qwest motto “nothing but the best” as they gave it everything every week. I would like to thank the kids for great team work. Thank you parents who encouraged and supported your child/ren. If you are in Yr 5 or 6 in 2021 and you would like to play please speak with Ambrose, Harry or Alex. We need a team of 8.
