BIG MOVER AWARD - Riley (3/4B)
Riley is an enthusiastic, engaging member of 3/4B. He is exceptionally entertaining and loves to have a chat or share a funny story. Riley is a popular student who thoroughly enjoys the social interactions of school life. He has well-established friendships and treats everyone with respect, both in and out of the classroom.
Riley has made a conscious effort to channel his energy in positive and productive ways and has become an outstanding role model for his peers. He is always encouraging others to do the right thing and consistently resolves conflict with patience and humour. It has been wonderful to watch Riley’s leadership potential emerge and it is exciting to contemplate the positive impact it will have on our school community throughout his senior primary years.
Always a capable student, Riley’s focus and work ethic have improved immeasurably and the quality of work he is producing across all KLAs is of a very high standard. It has been fantastic to see the level of pride he takes in his work grow and he should be commended for his mature and dedicated approach to learning.
Congratulations, Riley! You are a truly deserving winner of our Big Mover award! Vicki Young Deputy Principal

The School Band is now taking enrolments for 2018 and participation is open to all students who are currently in Years 2 to 5. No prior experience is required.

Students who return the Expression of Interest tear off slip, will be given the opportunity to test a variety of instruments to help them find the one most suited to them.
