Principal’s Report: Welcome Back:
I sincerely hope all staff,
students and parents had a
wonderful holiday.
I had the opportunity to travel
to China over the holidays. I
had a fantastic time and saw
many wonderful sights. The
people were friendly and easy
to be with. The Great Wall is
simply magnificent—one of
the most amazing things I have
ever experienced.
Term 4 is a long, hard-working
term in which significant
learning should occur.
Our students need to read
every night and complete all
homework that is set.
I am very confident our
students will achieve great
success this term.
Highlights of the term include
prep and grade 1 activity
nights, grade 2 sleepover,
grade 3/4 camp in Mildura,
grade 2-6 swimming
programme and the end-of-
year concert.

Red Cliffs Primary School will
be hosting a fantastic Family

some fun and important maths
activities.

Training.
